Screaming Pumpkin directs runners into Springdale Cemetery in Peoria, Illinois, for a fall night race with a Halloween theme. The offerings range from a family-friendly 2-mile walk or run to a 6.55-mile race (10k-ish), a half marathon, a full marathon, and a four-person marathon relay. The longer races are prediction runs; the fastest runner does not automatically win. Runners select a start time and aim to finish as close as possible to the cutoff time without exceeding it. The course begins in lower Glen Oak Park and incorporates Springdale Cemetery, one of Illinois’s oldest and largest cemeteries, with 78,000 people interred across 230 acres. Expect winding trails, actual hills, darkness, and minimal reliance on technology: GPS devices and watches are prohibited, and phones are for emergencies only. The half marathon, marathon, and relay attract participants who value strategy as much as speed, while the shorter races offer walkers, families, and Halloween-themed runners access to the same cemetery setting. The event benefits the Yellow Bear Foundation, which supports awareness and research funding for Primary Immunodeficiency.

Die Spring Stampede Trail-Rennen finden im Wildlife Prairie Park statt. Die Strecke läuft auf Wartungswegen und Singletrails. Der 5K ist einfach, aber der 10K ist anspruchsvoller, besonders in der zweiten Hälfte. Dein Startgeld beinhaltet den Parkeintritt; bring die Familie mit! Es gibt einzigartige Preise für die Gesamtsieger und Snacks nach dem Rennen.
