5K Race

Time: 8:00AM CDT 11:00AM CDT

The Race has been cancelled

It is with a heavy heart that we announce that a vote was taken at last night's meeting concerning the fate of this year's race.  Despite all efforts at publicity and raising money for a good cause, with only 18 days to race day we have only 7 registered runners.  While small races are attractive to some, they are not feasible financially.  We hope to see you at our other events.

Here Are Your Options:

You are entitled to a refund.  If you would rather donate your race fee to St. Jude, we will make that donation and we thank you.  Good luck with all of your training and racing efforts.

We greatly appreciate your support.  Please let us know if you do not receive a refund.  Thank you, and happy running!

Description

Come run a one of its kind course and support a great cause.  As the name suggest, the route is in the shape of a cross.  This year's event will support the Mattoon to Peoria St. Jude Run Team!  Race time is 8:00 a.m.  Race day registration and packet pickup from 6:30 until 7:45.  

As you have come to expect, there will be door prizes, and of course standard post race nutrition, age group awards, and cash prizes for overall male and female winners.  (This is a RACE after all).  As is our tradition, participants over 21 will be given a token for a free beer or glass of wine.  Stay tuned to our Facebook page for more information.
