Mark your calendar for May 31, 2026, to join the 49th edition of this cherished regional event in Elgin, where you can choose between a scenic 10-mile run, a 5K, or a brand new 2K Fun Walk—all on USATF certified courses. After crossing the finish line, stick around for an excellent postrace celebration complete with awards, a sponsor expo, live music and dancing, complimentary beer for adults, kid-friendly activities, and food trucks serving up delicious options. Your registration fee goes directly toward supporting ten local nonprofits whose volunteers work hard behind the scenes to keep the race organized and enjoyable for everyone.
