A St. Louis tradition, the University City Memorial Day Run is one of the oldest continuously run 10K races west of the Mississippi.

The 39th annual event will be held on Monday, May 27, with 5K and 10K races starting concurrently at 7:30 a.m. in front of the University City Library, 6701 Delmar.

Two fun runs, just under a mile, are open to children and their parents and begin at the library immediately after the finish of the 10K.
