Forest Park 5K & Kids Dash

Thanks to community support, the only 5K in Forest Park that sustains Forest Park was a huge success. More than 880 runners, walkers, rollers and strollers helped raise over $60,000 to support our work in the nation’s best city park.

The last day to pick up your Forest Park 5K & Kids Dash T-shirt from the Dennis & Judith Jones Visitor and Education Center is August 28, 2026.

Thank you to our sponsors!
