Lit Trails for Early & Night Runs in Missouri

Missouri has 59 trails with lights for night running in this directory, across 33 cities and towns — University City, Creve Coeur, Gladstone, Hazelwood and 29 more. Lights for the pre-dawn start and the after-work run once winter takes the evenings.

Labels come from each trail's own listing, its website and runners' reviews. Conditions change with the weather and the season, and gates and lights follow the park's own hours, so check a recent review before you drive out.
