The Dogwood Run

A community 3K run that goes back to its roots! For many years, the Dogwood Parade was a yearly staple in Ladue’s tight-knit community, celebrating camaraderie, family and the anticipation of warmer months ahead. In 2025, we’re excited and humbled to introduce The Dogwood Run, welcoming back the spirit and legacy of the parade to the heart of Ladue.

After a scenic, tree-lined run, walk or stroll (yes, strollers are welcome!) around the famous “Ladue Triangle,” everyone will come together at the Post-Race Festival to kick off summer and give back, with all race proceeds benefiting the Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation!

Post-Race festival sponsored by Companion Bakery
Our neighbors at local Ladue staple, Companion Bakery, have graciously offered their cafe and parking area to support our vision of reviving the spirit of the historic Dogwood Parade.

After the race, we will gather outside of Companion to cool down with an iced coffee, a tasty treat and a stroll through our Post-Race Festival, featuring an array of vendor tents, giveaways, music, and games for the whole family!
