If you’ve put off signing up for any of the seven events associated with Go! St. Louis, now might be a good time.

Registration is running well ahead of last year. The marathon, half-marathon and marathon relay, scheduled for April 6, are 30 percent to 70 percent ahead of totals at this point last year. Space remains in each event, but the half-marathon is closest to meeting its cap of 10,000 entries. So,  register soon, even if you’re considering entering the events on April 5 _ the 5K, fun runs or mature mile. Also scheduled for April 5 is the final miles of the Read, Right and Run marathon, for while elementary school-age students have been preparing for as much as six months.

Even it you’ve put off getting in shape, all is not lost. The events need volunteers. What better way to show support for a friend, family member or co-worker who has trained hard than to donate your time. And, just like every participant in the races, each volunteer gets a cool T-shirt. For more information, e-mail volunteer@gostlouis.org or call 618-960-9064.
