Race Information
The Northside Trap Run is St. Louis' first hip-hop themed 5K walk/run & festival that empowers North St. Louis neighborhoods and unifies grassroots, civic, educational, commercial and residential efforts to bridge the city's north-south divide.
The name “Trap Run” was chosen to celebrate the beauty that perseveres through struggle. Just as hip hop and trap music transcended hardship, this run highlights beauty in communities of St. Louis that too many ignore. The family-friendly event is hosted by Young Friends of the Ville, a board committee of Northside Community Housing, Inc.
