Shoreline Classic 2026

The Shoreline Classic, a fall road race in Decatur, Illinois, begins from Pavilion Drive near Lake Decatur. Participants can select a USATF-certified 5K or 15K, suitable for both competitive racers and recreational runners. The event also offers virtual 5K and 15K races, along with a Tot Trot for children aged 1 to 14. The in-person 5K and 15K follow the shores of Lake Decatur. The 5K presents a quicker route, while the 15K incorporates rolling hills for those seeking a longer, less level course. The race attracts participants and observers from throughout Illinois, and the Tot Trot adds a family-friendly dimension, balancing the focus on adult distance events.
