We need to be lined up next to our “Eureka” Flag along Monroe Street by 4:30 wearing our official navy run shirts
Showers are available in the Civic Center.
Once we get inside the Civic Center, please stay together as a group and we will go over to the photo stage area for a group photo.

Run Route Details:
Here is a detailed description of our 2023 route, including color coding for difficulty (green = mostly flat, Yellow = some hills, Red = fast leg), as well as the music genre for each leg.
Please bring an extra towel to cover your bus seat. Peoria Charter Coach gives us a massive discount for the run; let’s not thank them by sweating up their seats!
We recommend bringing a towel, a couple changes of running clothes, even an extra pair of running shoes. I like to towel off and put on a fresh shirt at lunch or if I take a break during the day. If it rains and your shoes get wet, a fresh, dry pair of running shoes may save you from some extra blisters. Speaking of blisters, I recommend bringing an anti-chaffing product such as Body Glide or Two-Toms. We’ll be out in the sun and heat all day, so a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are good ideas also.
