Race Information
Join the Spirits Run in Ottawa, IL, for a second LaSalle County adventure — this time hosted at the legendary Berta’s Tap. Spirits Run's statewide mission is to complete all 102 Illinois counties, and they’re thrilled to add another LaSalle stamp to the Spirits Run Adventure Book. This is a relaxed, social 5K where runners and walkers explore a local route, visit a historic cemetery, and celebrate afterward with great people, great drinks, and great vibes. This is not a timed race — it’s a good‑vibes run with a celebratory finish.
