About this Event

St. Louis and the Greater Metro, Missouri — come help us send off a nationwide mission.

Day 47 of 50. State 47 of 50. The journey rolls on in St. Louis. Join Brady McDonald, his family, and crew as they continue the Zero to 100 Wishes journey—running 50K in all 50 states over 50 consecutive days to raise $1 million benefiting Make-A-Wish.

We're kicking it off with a free, informal 5K community run and walk, and everyone is welcome.

Run the 5K, walk with us, bring your family and flags, or simply come cheer along the route. You do not have to be a runner to be part of this moment.

THIS IS ALSO WORKOUT #1 OF THE ZERO TO 100 COMMUNITY FITNESS CHALLENGE.

The Sunrise Wish Run is the official start line for our Zero to 100 Community Challenge — 100 days of discipline, no substitutions, no compromises. As Brady puts it: "The Zero to 100 challenge builds discipline, confidence, and a stronger community. Join us in making an impact for local kids and families through Make-A-Wish."

The daily rules, every day for 100 days:
1️⃣ 1 x 45-minute workout each day - If you miss a workout, make it up by doing two 45-minute workouts the next day or on another day that week. No excuses—stay on track!
2️⃣ Eat Healthy - No junk food, no fast food, no cheat meals, count macros
3️⃣ NO ALCOHOL or drugs - Zero alcohol for the full challenge. A single slip resets you to Day 1.

You can run the 5K without taking on the challenge, and you can start the challenge without being here in person — but if you want Day 1 to mean something, start it with us at sunrise.

Come help St. Louis send this mission forward with the energy, encouragement, and community support it deserves.
