PARKINGParking is available at the following lots:
Christian High School 1145 Tom Ginnever Ave, O'Fallon, MO 63366 View Map for exact location. Fort Zumwalt North High School 1230 Tom Ginnever Ave, O'Fallon, MO 63366 View Map for exact location. There is NO SHUTTLE from the parking lots to the race start. It's a short walk but give yourself some extra time. Tom Ginnever will be closed to traffic at 8:30 am for the City's Heritage & Freedom Fest parade. Because of this a lot of people get stuck in the T.R. Hughes ballpark parking lot. We're trying to avoid this by using these other parking lots. If you plan on staying for the parade you may park in the TR Hughes parking lot. Travel & Lodging 1 Mile Fun Run DetailsThe 1 Mile Fun Run is not a timed race but runners will get bibs. The O'Fallon Chamber is not responsible for unsupervised children who participate in the Fun Run. Parents may run in the Fun Run with their children as long as they are signed up for at least one of the races (10K, 5K, 1M).
