Courses de 10K près de Morton

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.

Les trails du Spring Stampede se déroulent à Wildlife Prairie Park. Le parcours est une boucle sur des pistes de service et du single track. Le 5K est facile, mais attention, le 10K est plus costaud, surtout sur la deuxième moitié. Ton inscription te donne l'accès au parc, donc amène la famille ! Il y aura des récompenses uniques pour les vainqueurs au scratch et des snacks après la course.
