Equinox Half Marathon and 5k Race Description

Welcome to the first and only NIGHT TIME half marathon in St. Louis!!! Hosted in partnership with the the phenomenal Westport Plaza and the City of Maryland Heights, the Equinox Half Marathon and 5k is a celebration of the Fall and the cooler weather it brings!  With a gun going off at 7:30 PM, you will learn that night Time races are WONDERFUL.  Enjoy the excitement of the evening, the party right after, and the ability to manage your fueling and rest through the entire day.  No early morning and rush to eat and get there.  No need to forgo having spectators on site for guilt of asking them to wake up early.  Best of all, every minute that goes by the temperature gets cooler and cooler.  Rather than starting at a low temps and the day getting warmer, you start cool (sunset) and the run will get progressively more comfortable.  Join us on September 16 and learn first hand what makes an evening race an experience like no other!!

Mr. Darren Jeffery

This was an awesome run. First time running at night and I loved it. A little hilly but being from St. Louis I am use to that. I am looking forward to next year....

Heavenly Hills

I wasn't surprised by the route of you are familiar with the area the hills come as know surprise. I would like to thank the director, police and volunteers for keeping us safe. It was very nice that the finish line and time were welcoming to ladies that were behind in time. Next year maybe less incentives for better quality. Skipping the glass/sock could produce a better material shirt? The medal was great. Wish the water stations had water that was iced down. Overall nice experience.

Great Run

I had a great time at this race and the medal is super neat! An unbelievable amount of volunteers, police, and water stations. To run through town at night is a huge deal and they kept all of us safe. Hills make you stronger, so bring it on! The atmosphere (beer, food and entertainment) couldn't have been better. Thank you for a great memory!

Still no results!

When I finished the race I could not find any live results, figured I would just get them on the web at home. It is now almost 20 hours later, I have emailed and FB messaged. At 10a today the said results would be emailed and posted soon. Still nothing. Very disappointing as my gps was broken, the timer at the finish line was not accurate, so I have no idea how I did,

Needs better chip timing

It was an average race . It was my 57th half & first night race so I'm selective.Timing was average cause I failed to turn chip in. At most races chip is in number.
