Olympic Tavern 5K Spirits Run for ALS 2026

Spirits Run is an Illinois 5K series for those 21 and over, featuring a gothic theme and centered on pubs, distilleries, historic landmarks, and neighborhood venues. Each event takes place in a different host town. The Olympic Tavern edition is part of this broader format, incorporating local businesses, community groups, folklore, and social time after the race into the event day. The routes vary with each event, with each course connected to its host location instead of following a single, repeated layout. Participants receive custom merchandise, a themed atmosphere, and a toast at the finish line. The series intends for a 5K to feel more like a local adventure than a typical road race.
