Hours: 8 AM - 11 AM

Race for Home is a 5K/10K Run and 1 mile walk benefiting the work of Peter & Paul Community Services, a non-profit agency providing housing and supportive services for those who are homeless, especially those who live with mental illness and HIV.

Race for Home is unique in that it is the only 5K, 10K run and 1 mile walk in the metropolitan area that takes place along the banks of the Mississippi river. Runners and walkers are shuttled to the starting point and race toward the city skyline.

Participants race against the Mississippi current (5 mph), their own personal times and most importantly, the many stereotypes that surround the issue of homelessness.

Why not enjoy the beauty of the river, interesting urban landscape and new friends November 7, 2009 as Peter & Paul Community Services marks Homeless Awareness Month in St. Louis.
