Kennekuk Road Runners - Members Only Meet The Backpack 2026

Meet The Backpack, a running event exclusively for Kennekuk Road Runners members in Westville, Illinois. The race covers 17.7 km, a distance between a 10-mile race and a half marathon, requiring more effort than a short-road-race effort but less than a full half-marathon. The start is at 20301 900 North Rd in Westville. Details suggest a small club race: the field is limited to members, the organizer is the local Kennekuk Road Runners group, and the event name implies a casual, in-house atmosphere.
