Nina LeCuyer Memorial 5K

The Nina LeCuyer Memorial 5K is a 3.1-mile run or walk in Sheridan, Illinois, starting at LaVerne W. Anderson American Legion Post 0729. It is connected to Memorial Day at the Legion, with entry covering the run, access to the post-run breakfast, and an invitation to the Memorial Day ceremony. The course begins and ends at the American Legion, utilizing village streets, making it a small-town 5K rather than a closed-off event. American Legion Post 0729 organizes it as a memorial run, with proceeds benefiting a local individual in need or the Illinois Veteran's Home. Awards are presented to the top male and female finishers, the top Veteran, and the top three men and women in age groups from 9 and under to 70 and older.
