Just as hip hop and trap music transcended hardship, our run highlights beauty in communities of St. Louis that too many ignore. This is especially important in the wake of the May 2016 tornado that devastated north city neighborhoods. The storm, its aftermath, and the people-powered recovery (which we&#8217;ve been part of) only strengthened our resolve to make this year&#8217;s Trap Run the biggest and best for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/traprunstl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Website<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/traprunstl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C_n8OdzJLre\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Video<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSf6msVrjaiuQXW4_sBtnOtJ2mzCTh0791IRiCZcMPF3u5uiQQ\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Volunteer Sign Up<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/traprunstl.com\/tr-vendor-registration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vendor Sign Up<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image003-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image003-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8349\" style=\"width:483px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image003-1.jpg 150w, https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image003-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/stlouisdad.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image003-1-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With more than a dozen DJs, this run, hosted by Northside Community Housing, Inc., offers great music and celebrates the important roles that strong communities, families, and good health play in North St. Louis.
