Run Stephenson County begins and ends at the Jane Addams Trailhead in Orangeville, Illinois, offering a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and cycling fun ride. This is an annual YMCA fundraiser, with entry fees supporting reduced-cost access to YMCA programs and memberships for children, families, seniors, and neighbors. The half marathon features a flat start and finish, with rolling hills in the middle miles. The 5K and 10K courses are designed for runners aiming for fast times. The paved, certified route follows the Jane Addams Trail and local farmland roads, including chip timing, aid stations, and porta-potties. Participants receive a tech shirt, half marathon finishers are awarded medals, top finishers receive trophies, and the finish area provides food, vendors, and a close-knit community atmosphere.

The Yeti Winter Trail Series is a four-race winter trail series held at the Dixon Park District Facility in Dixon, Illinois.

The initial 125 registered participants will receive a gift, and series awards are presented to the top five male and female finishers based on overall time, with additional awards for Masters and Grandmasters categories.

Footsteps for Families je rodinná zábavná akcia, ktorá sa koná na Harlem High School v oblasti Rockfordu. Hlavným bodom je 5k beh/prechádzka a 100-metrový Kids Fun Run. Je to jednoduché: dospelí a staršie deti idú 5k, menšie deti majú svoj krátky pretek a výťažok z akcie ide pre Safe Families for Children. Na akcii sa stretávajú bežci, chodci, rodiny, darcovia a dobrovoľníci – nie sú to len súťaživí bežci. Safe Families for Children to využívajú na vysvetlenie svojej misie, ktorou je spájanie rodičov s vyškolenou a preverenou podpornou sieťou. Pobočka v Rockforde začala v roku 2009. Súčasťou dňa je aj praktická pomoc: prihlášky pre dobrovoľníkov, sprostredkovanie rodín cez agentúru, nástenka s aktuálnymi potrebami a program na zdvojnásobenie darov.

A family-friendly community race focused on movement, community, and hometown pride. Whether you "Run it. Walk it. Ruck it.", all are welcome. Chase a PR, enjoy a fun walk, or carry weight. All participants will be timed, with separate awards for run/walk and ruck divisions. Register by the deadline for a Byron Rocks t-shirt.
