Amid a weekend of successful sporting events, the Greater St. Louis Marathon took center stage last Saturday, showing off the streets of St. Louis to 20,000 runners from all over the country. The weekend marked the 25th anniversary of Go! St. Louis, the nonprofit organization that presents fitness events throughout the region. And while thousands of people ran the race, it was a local man from Eureka, Missouri, who won the marathon.
The Bottom Line: From race weekend to college hockey, sports are expected to make a $40 million economic impact to the region this spring. Every safe and successful event like the Greater St. Louis Marathon builds on St. Louis’ reputation as a vibrant place to visit, live, and work.
