Head to Downs, IL the Saturday before Independence Day for a morning of community fun and flat running! The 5K and 1-mile walk both kick off at 8:00 AM and wind through town with spectators cheering you on, finishing with a lap around the high school track. All proceeds go directly back to the village through projects like park improvements, COVID relief grants, and local celebrations—so you'll be running for a great cause while enjoying one of the area's fastest 5K courses!
