Disclaimer: I applied to be an ambassador for this race, as I love St. Louis and truly think it has such a great race community. There are tiers of rewards based on how many people use my 10% ambassador code SAMANTHA19.

I always want to be up front about what I receive when I do these posts or opportunities. I also want you to always know that I will be 100% honest with all my reviews or opportunities.
This one I sought out because I HAVE NOT run this race and when I was looking for St. Louis races in the Fall, this one jumped out at me. I would LOVE nothing more than a free entry to the half marathon and that is when THREE people use my code above to SAVE MONEY! But I also want to share why I think you should sign up, besides just to help me stay #BallinOnABudget.
Perfect Time of the Year
The weather should be BEAUTIFUL in November. Just think, lows of 40’s, highs of 60’s. Also, adequate training time from now until November 3rd.
