Cardinals 5K

Saturday, April 18, 2026 | Ballpark Village & Busch Stadium

Bring the whole family and join Cardinals Nation on Saturday, April 18, for the 2026 Cardinals 5K, a fun St. Louis 5K race that brings fans together in support of kids and families in our community.

This annual Cardinals 5K run/walk features a family-friendly course through the streets of downtown St. Louis, finishing on Clark Street, followed by a memorable victory lap around the warning track inside Busch Stadium. The fun will start at Ballpark Village with a pre-race warm-up.

A virtual 5K option is also available, allowing fans across the country to participate from anywhere.

The Cardinals will continue their partnership with Joe Torre Safe At Home during the upcoming season to provide resources to traumatized youth to empower them to live healthy lives free of violence.
