RISE UP!
and we won't let them down.

The trails are calling! And as the country - hopefully - starts to see the backside of the COVID pandemic, we hope to answer that call!
Thus the tectonic shift of the very nature of Allerton Races - from an early Spring ritual of greeting the first shoots of green, to a celebration of the lush foliage and vibrant wildlife that is Allerton in the late Summer!
In shifting the event to the right, we hope to wait out public health circumstances to the point where the park can safely be open for us to join together in celebration of health and fitness and nature, all while raising funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois!
More to come here as events unfold. We'll launch registration as soon as we have some level of confidence. Please keep your eyes on us here and on our Facebook page in the weeks to come!!!


Your race fee supports Make-A-Wish Illinois which continues to bring hope, strength, and joy to more than 10,000 children with life-threatening medical conditions. You will also be supporting Robert Allerton Park, named one of the 7 Wonders of Illinois by the Illinois Bureau of Tourism.
WHAT IS A VIRTUAL RACE? (This pertains to 2020, but the Virtual option WILL also be in effect for 2021, so if you can't make it to Allerton in August, consider this!!!)
​
If you’ve never heard of a “virtual race” before, it goes like this. You run or walk your own version of your chosen race(s) (5K, 10K, and/or Half Marathon), on your own course anywhere (safe)! If you have a Garmin or similar device, OR if you can work with a running app on your phone (AND WE CAN TEACH YOU HOW) you can choose to record your time and distance and send it in. BUT you can also do it without tech if you prefer!

Then we will get you your medal (10K and Half Marathon - working on something for 5K!) and a certificate suitable for framing!

We'll share your participation on social media if you're willing. You’ll be asked to send a photo. You’ll be encouraged to tell a story. Dogs were allowed anyway, but now they’re REALLY allowed. There’ll be points for originality. There will be prizes.

Above all, you'll participate in a great story that emerges out of all this mess, one in which Allerton enthusiasts, runners, and Make-A-Wish supporters come together (but absolutely do NOT actually come together) to do something amazing! 

Not a Runner or Walker?
VOLUNTEER!

We need your help! Runner support, check-in, course marshalling, and ENTERTAINMENT!
