Gateway Outdoor Expo Rescheduled for April 1 & 2, 2022 in St. Louis

ST. LOUIS - Dec. 7, 2021 - PRLog -- The 2022 Gateway Outdoor Expo has been announced for Friday and Saturday, April 1 and 2, at America's Center Convention Complex in downtown St. Louis. The event will showcase new outdoor gear, services, and resources as well as interactive demos and experiential attractions — all in a festive, family-friendly environment.

The Expo was rescheduled in 2020 and 2021 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Big news for 2022 is that the Expo will partner with GO! St. Louis to be the official packet pickup location for the 2022 GO! St. Louis Marathon & Family Fitness Weekend. This means all GO! St. Louis marathoners, half marathoners, 10K runners, and marathon relay teams will visit the Expo to get their required race materials. The races are scheduled to take place on Saturday and Sunday, April 2 and 3, in downtown St. Louis.

This is the first time the Gateway Outdoor Expo will be held at America's Center, a move that will allow more space for exhibits and attendees.

With more than 200 exhibit booths and 10,000 attendees expected at this two-day event, the Gateway Outdoor Expo is the premier consumer show and cultural gathering for the regional outdoor community. Terrain Magazine, a local nonprofit organization and the producer of the Expo, is committed to creating opportunities through which all St. Louisans can learn about outdoor recreation in our area and experience the mental and physical benefits that go hand in hand.

The Gateway Outdoor Expo will highlight activities such as running, biking, hiking, camping, rock climbing, and paddling, as well as adventure travel, health and wellness, and more. Special features include, but are not limited to:

• Rock Climbing Wall: Sponsored by Upper Limits Indoor Rock Climbing Gym. Test your ability on several different routes of varying difficulty. The wall is 23 feet tall, with holds and features that simulate a real rock surface.
• Mountain Bike Demo Course. Sponsored by St. Louis Mountain Bike Camps. This area allows Expo attendees to try out a mountain bike on simulated off-road obstacles.
• Mobile Life Basecamp: Tour the latest overland vehicles, mini travel trailers, and toy haulers and take your future outdoor adventures on the road.
• VIP Party: Rub elbows with expo vendors and enjoy select food and beverages at this celebratory mixer. Details to follow.
