New and Fun for Ramble 2023
Please take a moment to watch the short video below the picture of the kids at the start of the Fun Run. This short video will let you know what Ramble Fun is all about!
What Is The Ramble?
The Kirkwood Greentree Rotary Ramble is a charitable 5k/10k run/walk through the streets of Kirkwood. The proceeds of the race benefit local Kirkwood charities which vary from year to year. The race is certified and administered through Big River Running, and takes place every year the weekend after the Greentree Festival. Every year we change the race theme to match the Greentree Festival’s, and we encourage participants to dress up! Immediately after the race add some “recovery carbs” at Ramble Race sponsor “The Geyer Inn”, located directly across Geyer from the “Ramble Finish Line”. Celebrate your achievement at the Geyer Inn!

All dogs must be on 6’ or shorter leashes and accompanied by their adult human at all times. There is a limit of one dog per adult runner. No un-registered pets are allowed. Proof of current registrations must be brought to the event to be produced upon demand.
Make sure to dress up Rover for our pet costume contest with this year’s theme!
Note that there will be many other dogs and people in a small space, which may be stressful for your dog. Please do not bring your dog if he or she will be anxious or aggressive under these circumstances.
