Marshall Rotary presents: Jack-O-Jog 2026

The Jack-O-Jog begins at the Plum Street and 8th Street parking lot in Marshall, Illinois, with all race options scheduled for an evening start. The Marshall Rotary Club organizes this event as a Halloween-season run for families, children, walkers, and casual runners. Available options include a 1-mile walk, a 5K fun run, and a free Kids Dash for children in kindergarten through sixth grade. The course is straightforward: walkers complete one 1-mile loop, and 5K runners traverse that same loop three times. Children have their own short dash. Costumes are welcome, provided all participants wear athletic shoes. Post-race amenities align with the event's family orientation, featuring goodie bags for Kids Dash participants containing a wearable trick-or-treat safety item, along with medals and shirts for walkers and runners.
