5K races near Carbondale

The Art and Kevin Reveal Memorial Turkey Run takes place in Herrin, Illinois, starting at the Herrin Civic Center on South 16th Street. Held in November, the event features a 15K run, a 5K run, a non-competitive 5K walk, a three-person 15K relay, and a youth fun run, accommodating runners, walkers, teams, and children. This race is a long-standing local tradition, noted as the 45th annual running. The start and finish lines are located in front of the Civic Center, with packet pickup and registration conducted inside the venue. The 15K course involves participants completing three laps of the 5K route, and relay teams divide the 15K distance among three members. Awards are presented across a broad age spectrum, from 12 and under to 70 and over, contributing to a community-focused atmosphere rather than a strictly competitive one.
