From the organizer

A Race Where Everyone Has a Shot at the Win

Forget the usual “everyone starts together” race. This is  a chase, a hunt, and a finish-line showdown all rolled into one. We’re reviving a legendary St. Louis race and bringing it into the 21st century!

Here’s the kicker: your race doesn’t start when the gun goes off… it starts when  your  turn comes. Using official, calculated age-grading tables, we’ll set your start time based on your age and gender. But no matter when you start, everyone has the same goal: —  chase down anyone in front of them before the finish line !
