Description
The 3rd annual Illinois 811 Run/Walk has gone virtual for 2020. While we'd love to hold this event in-person and continue to build upon the two previous years' success, we've decided to support our cause and bring the running community together, VIRTUALLY!
As our lives have changed in the face of a pandemic, it has never been more important to protect yourselves and community by calling 811 before digging.
Please, do your part. Call 811 before you dig.
