Bellefontaine Cemetery’s 2026 Spring Race Registration is now open for the 2026 Coyote Crawl 5K and Head for the Hills 10K! Enjoy a 5K or 10K run through Missouri’s first Level III Arboretum during the emergence of Spring. The rolling hills of Bellefontaine’s 314 acres will allow a greater appreciation of the 87,000 lives commemorated on the grounds of the oldest Garden Cemetery west of the Mississippi. Participate in-person or virtually. Founded in 1849, Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum has been the final resting place for many of St. Louis’s notable figures, including Priscila Baltimore, General William Clark, Sarah Teasdale, and Adolphus Busch. You will find world-renowned architecture such as the Wainwright Mausoleum, the historic Hotchkiss Chapel, and the “Girl in the Glass Box” nestled among the 14 miles of roadway. A diverse collection of close to 10,000 trees and shrub varieties dot the landscape, making this a peaceful run/walk through history and nature. The race will be held on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Participate in person or virtually. Sign up now!
