Founded in 2017 by the St. Louis Reconciliation Network, the Race for Reconciliation 5K is more than just a race—it's a movement to promote racial unity in St. Louis. Held on Delmar Blvd, the race seeks to bring healing to the historic Delmar Divide, a symbol of the racial and economic disparities in our city.

 

Starting in 2024, the race proudly serves as the opening event for the annual Delmar Loop Juneteenth Celebration, amplifying its impact as a powerful force for change. As a fundraiser, the event supports several non-profit organizations dedicated to advancing racial unity and equity in our region.

 

Our vision is for the Race for Reconciliation 5K to become a key event that demonstrates to our city, and beyond, that St. Louis no longer needs to be defined by its past. We are committed to building a future where unity and equity are the foundation of our community.

 

The Race for Reconciliation 5K is a family-friendly event designed for everyone, emphasizing our commitment to "Building unity one step at a time."
