Register for Our Spring Race!
Fox Trot 5K and Kit Crawl 10K | Saturday, March 22, 2025
Registration is open for our annual spring Fox Trot 5K & Kit Crawl 10K! This event 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.
Enjoy a 5K or 10K run through Missouri’s first (and one of only 47 worldwide) Level III Arboretum during the emergence of Spring. The rolling hills of Bellefontaine Cemetery’s 314 acres will allow a greater appreciation of the 87,000 lives commemorated on the grounds of the oldest Garden Cemetery west of the Mississippi. Virtual options are also available.
