Thirsty Thursdays are back and once again sponsored by Good News Brewing and Fleet Feet St. Louis. We will once again host a series of timed 5K pub runs so we can enjoy two of our favorite activities: running and beer! One Thursday a month from April through October, we will have a professionally timed race on the Katy Trail from Good News Brewing in Defiance, MO. The course will be an out and back on the Katy Trail with an open start line format to allow for social distancing and commute times. All registrants 21 & older will receive a free beer from Good News for some post-race refreshment, and Good News will also be offering extended bar hours and a pizza buffet for purchase. We also have some sweet swag available for purchase during registration. Sign up now to join us on one (or more!) of our Thirsty Thursday 5Ks!

Run, drink and gather for only $18 per race! Registration gets you a bib, chip timing with live results notification text via cell phone, and a free draft beer pour at Good News! Race shirts are available for purchase

The races start and finish at Good News Brewing in Defiance, MO. The course runs northeast on the Katy Trail to the turnaround and returns to finish near the Good News parking lot. Enjoy the atmosphere of Good News Brewing's great patio while enjoying your free beverage after the race.

Results and Awards

All participants who provide a cell phone number during registration will receive a results text shortly after finishing. We will not have awards for each individual race, but will keep a yearly leaderboard, and after the October race, we will award $15 gift cards* to Fleet Feet to the top 5 male and female times throughout the year. *Only 1 gift card per person, even if that person has more than 1 top 5 time.

Races start at 5:30pm, with the start line remaining open until 6:30pm. Participants can start anytime during that window
