Biegi 10K w pobliżu Pekin

Screaming Pumpkin directs runners into Springdale Cemetery in Peoria, Illinois, for a fall night race with a Halloween theme. The offerings range from a family-friendly 2-mile walk or run to a 6.55-mile race (10k-ish), a half marathon, a full marathon, and a four-person marathon relay. The longer races are prediction runs; the fastest runner does not automatically win. Runners select a start time and aim to finish as close as possible to the cutoff time without exceeding it. The course begins in lower Glen Oak Park and incorporates Springdale Cemetery, one of Illinois’s oldest and largest cemeteries, with 78,000 people interred across 230 acres. Expect winding trails, actual hills, darkness, and minimal reliance on technology: GPS devices and watches are prohibited, and phones are for emergencies only. The half marathon, marathon, and relay attract participants who value strategy as much as speed, while the shorter races offer walkers, families, and Halloween-themed runners access to the same cemetery setting. The event benefits the Yellow Bear Foundation, which supports awareness and research funding for Primary Immunodeficiency.

Biegi trailowe Spring Stampede odbędą się w Wildlife Prairie Park. Trasa to pętle po drogach serwisowych i single trackach. Piątka jest łatwa, ale dycha jest bardziej wymagająca, zwłaszcza jej druga połowa. W cenie startu macie wstęp do parku, więc możecie zabrać rodzinę. Dla zwycięzców open są fajne nagrody, a po biegu czekają przekąski.
