Fox Trot 5K Run/Walk
June 19, 2021 @ 7:45 am - 12:00 pm
We are excited to announce our 2021 Fox Trot event! Our Sixth Annual Fox Trot 5K will be held in person this year on Saturday, June 19, 2021. Join us for a run/walk through our 314-acre cemetery.
Join us for a run/walk through our 314-acre cemetery. Founded in 1849, Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum has been the final resting place for many of St. Louis’s notable figures, including William Clark, Adolphus Busch, and the Lemp Family. You will find celebrated architecture such as the Wainwright Mausoleum, Hotchkiss Chapel, and the ‘Girl in the Glass Box’ nestled along our 14 miles of roadway. A diverse collection of over 9,000 trees and shrub varieties dot the landscape, making an enjoyable run/walk through history and nature.
The race name Fox Trot is a nod to our resident foxes who, according to some Native American Traditions, represent the spirit of one’s ancestors when seen on a burial ground.
