Bellefontaine Cemetery's 3rd Fall Race Registration is now open for our 2024 Coyote Crawl 5K and Head for the Hills 10K! Enjoy a walk or run through Missouri's first Level III Arboretum (and one of only 47 in the world!) while surrounded by incredible fall foliage. Our rolling hills make this closed course a fun and memorable experience as you walk or run through the Cemetery. We are celebrating our 175th anniversary this year. Founded in 1849, Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum has been the final resting place for many of St. Louis’s notable figures, including Priscila Baltimore, General William Clark, Sarah Teasdale, and Adolphus Busch. You will find world-renowned architecture such as the Wainwright Mausoleum, our historic Hotchkiss Chapel, and the “Girl in the Glass Box” nestled among our 14 miles of roadway. A diverse collection of close to 10,000 trees and shrub varieties dot the landscape, making an enjoyable run/walk through history and nature. The race will be held on Saturday, November 2, 2024.
