OLYMPIC & PARALYMPIC DAY

The St. Louis Sports Commission invites you to participate in the worldwide celebration of Olympic & Paralympic Day! We mark the occasion in a way that only America’s first Olympic city can – with a run/walk around the 1904 Olympic stadium track with Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Dawn Harper-Nelson, and other St. Louis Olympians and Paralympians.

Join us for this special event commemorating the birth of the modern Olympic Games, promoting Olympic values, and celebrating our region’s place in the Olympic Movement as we look forward to the 2024 Paris Games.

  • Motivational discussion and Q&A with Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Dawn Harper-Nelson (approx. 30 minutes)
  • Run/walk with JJK and other Olympians around the track at Francis Olympic Field – site of the 1904 Summer Games and the oldest modern-day Olympic stadium still in active use
  • Registered participants receive a medal commemorating the 1904 Games in St. Louis
The event is free and open to all ages! Pre-registration is encouraged by completing the form below.
