Athletes, families and spectators heading to the GO! St. Louis Marathon events downtown on Sunday (April 10) are encouraged to ride Metro to get to all of the excitement.

Race participants and fans can park at any of the 21 free Metro Park-Ride lots in Missouri or Illinois and ride MetroLink to the Union Station or Civic Center MetroLink Stations, which are both within a few blocks of the start and finish lines. MetroBus is another great option for getting to the events in downtown St. Louis. Race participants can ride on one of 13 MetroBus routes to the Civic Center Transit Center and walk a couple blocks north to the starting line.
