**ST. LOUIS, Mo., January 30, 2024 **– Registration is underway for the 2024 Cardinals
5K.  The 5K will take place both in-person and virtually, allowing Cardinals fans
across the world the chance to run, jog or walk on their own.  All participants 
will receive an exclusive hooded t-shirt and a commemorative medallion featuring
Cardinals Hall of Famer [Willie McGee](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mcgeewi01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2024-01-30_br).

and finish on Clark Street between Ballpark Village and Busch Stadium with the race
route taking participants through the streets of downtown. Upon finishing the 5K,
participants will have the opportunity to take a victory lap around the warning

**About Cardinals Care**

Cardinals Care was established to give fans a way to team up with Cardinals players
and the organization to help children in our community—both on and off the baseball
field.  Established in 1997, Cardinals Care has invested over $31 million to support
St. Louis area children, built or renovated 24 youth ball fields in local under-
resourced neighborhoods, and distributed over $17 million in grants to nonprofit
organizations. 

Since 2004, Cardinals Care has orchestrated the innovative Redbird Rookies program,
a free co-ed baseball/softball league for kids who otherwise might not have the 
opportunity to play.  In addition to providing all the uniforms and equipment needed
for each team, Redbird Rookies also provides extensive off-field support in the 
areas of health, education, mentoring and the cultural arts for each of the nearly
2,500 kids who participate in the program each year. 

In 2023, Cardinals Care launched the Cardinals Nike Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities(
RBI) program in cooperation with Major League Baseball to provide greater baseball
and softball opportunities for youth ages 14-18 in our community. To learn more
