Race Information
Get out your running shoes and bring the entire family to the annual Races for All Paces at Eastern Illinois University's O'Brien Stadium. This is a family-centered event designed to encourage fitness, activity and fun! There's literally a race for every fitness level. You can start with the One Mile Fun Run/Walk, challenge yourself with the 5K or 10K, and the little ones can participate in the Toddler Trot or Diaper Dash. The races are timed so you can participate in your own race and then do the one mile with your kids. There will be lots of fun activities and food trucks for you and your family. There is no registration required for the Toddler Trot or the Diaper Dash. Everyone who participates in the 10K, 5K, or 1 Mile will receive a beautiful medal. If you place in your age category for the 10K or 5K, you will also receive an award medallion.
