8:00 – We start running
Details for after the run
We are scheduled to arrive at the Civic Center at 3:30. Once we have crossed the finish line, we will need to walk over and get all our things off the busses.
We need to be lined up next to our “Eureka” Flag along Monroe Street by 4:30 wearing our matching run shirts.
Showers are available at the RiverPlex and there will be a shower shuttle until 7pm. (Shuttle picks up at corner of Madison & Fulton)
If you decide not to use the showers, we will have our drink trailer set up after the run as a women’s changing room in the parking lot.
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.
After the photo you are free to enjoy the evening!!
Pasta party
Beer garden
St. Jude Store (Cashless. Prepare accordingly)

Family and friends are invited to join you for the party. The free food and drinks are intended for runners and volunteers, though family members within reason will not be turned away.
Our televised group check presentation is scheduled for 7:00 PM. All are invited to participate.
Set your machines to record channel 25 at 7pm! Will also be streaming on WWW.WEEK.COM
Run Route Details:
Here is a detailed description of our 2024 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 2Toms Sport Shield. We’ll be out in the sun and heat all day, so a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are good ideas also.
