Join hundreds of runners from Illinois and beyond on the final day of the Illinois State Fair in August for this USATF-certified 10K challenge that winds through Springfield's fairgrounds, Lincoln Park, and Oak Ridge Cemetery—or opt for the 5K option if you prefer a shorter distance. Both races kick off at 7:30am in a traditional mass start format, with packet pickup available the day before at Lincoln Park Pavilion. Remember that registrations are non-refundable, though if the live event can't happen, your entry will convert to a virtual race option, and be sure to sign up by July 12 if you want to guarantee a race shirt!
