Run The Path 10k 2026

Run The Path 10k is a chip-timed road race in McNabb, Illinois, typically held in early November. The race begins and ends at Putnam County Junior High School, with packet pickup and race-day registration taking place in the school cafeteria prior to the event. The USATF-certified course follows paved county roads in an out-and-back format, featuring both inclines and level sections. Participants might observe deer, turkey, or eagles along the country route. Volunteers will be present at mile markers and intersections, though the roads remain open to local traffic. Walkers and strollers are permitted, but headphones are prohibited. All participants have a two-hour time limit. The event provides water stations, emergency medical support, post-race refreshments, sweatshirts for those who register early, awards for overall finishers and age groups, and online registration discounts for several Illinois running clubs.
