Our 10th Running!
This one's going to be special...

It's hard to put into words just how amazing it is for Allerton Races to be coming back for a 10th running! This event started as a crackpot scheme to show off Allerton's potential as a half marathon site after the old bridge across the Sangamon was replaced and the park became "whole" again, AND to raise funds for Make-A-Wish Illinois!
The park did not disappoint. In fact over the years, Allerton's staff have made trail and facility improvements, and the park is more special than ever as a year-round running/hiking destination, and as the perfect venue for a race weekend!
Likewise, the race has become a can't-miss event for all who love nature, fitness, good music, encouragement, and Wish Families! We strive to make the experience challenging yet fun, with seriously cool race medals on Saturday, and with lighted statues and sights and sounds to remember on Friday night!
For our 10th, we have a few more surprises planned that you do NOT want to miss. AND this year is a unique chance to BE THERE as our next race donation to Make-A-Wish Illinois will put us over the $100,000 mark! 

The trails are calling! We're calling! And we hope you'll answer the call and come experience this special place! And as the country - hopefully - starts to see the backside of the COVID pandemic, we are here to answer that call!

Registration is up and running! Time to jump in and run/walk with us!!!

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.
NOT ABLE TO JOIN US AT THE PARK? HOW ABOUT A VIRTUAL RACE??!!
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, 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) 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.

Above all, you'll participate in a great story, one in which Allerton enthusiasts, runners, and Make-A-Wish supporters come together in our 10th consecutive year to do something amazing!
