Champaign Firefighters Local 1260 5k

The Champaign Firefighters Local 1260 5K begins at the Carle at the Fields trail, located at 3310 Fields S Dr in Champaign, Illinois. This chip-timed 3.1-mile morning course is a local, third-annual event. The setup is straightforward: a flat paved route, race shirts for early registrants, and packet pickup near the start and finish. The course winds through Southwest Champaign, going by local businesses, parks, and a fire station. Entry fees benefit the Champaign Firefighters Benevolent Fund. This fund assists families of fallen firefighters, active and retired Local 1260 members and their families, other firefighter families in Illinois and beyond, and local community members or groups needing financial aid.
