Get to Arcola early and be ready to run—the 10K kicks off at 8:00 AM (followed by the 5K at 8:15 AM), with check-in wrapping up by 7:30 AM. The 10K takes you on a scenic 6.2-mile journey across brick and hard surfaces through town and north of Arcola before bringing you back downtown to finish, while the 5K keeps things local with a fun 3.1-mile loop entirely within town limits. You'll have police support, water stations along the way, and split times tracked—plus a few ground rules to keep everyone safe, like leaving bikes and animals at home (though strollers are welcome for walkers starting at the back).
