Lace up for a special 5K on June 6, 2026, at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield that honors a century of Route 66 history. Starting at 8:00 AM from Gate 2, you'll enjoy a scenic loop through the fairgrounds decorated with vintage Route 66 signage, including an unforgettable mile on the historic Illinois State Fair Grandstand Track—with your split time saved as a keepsake. Every finisher gets a custom medal, and awards recognize top overall racers plus age-group winners in 5-year increments, with packet pickup on Friday evening (4-7 PM) or Saturday morning (6:30-7:45 AM).
