About this race
The run starts at 7 AM, with the course closing at 8:30 AM (18:00/mile pace). Originally the Intercity 10K in 1985, the Lake Run club refined the course in 1993. This 57th annual edition attracts about 500 runners. LRC members save $3; Springfield Road Runners and Starved Rock members save $1. Register early for a Park 2 Park race shirt. Parking is in the Illinois State University lot; no parking is available at Fairview Park. Three water stations are on the course. Awards for overall and age group winners are available near the finish line after 8 AM.
