Welcome to the Inaugural Railside 4/7, a series of races organized by Railside Charities NFP, benefiting local charities such as the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance (IFSA) and the Elburn Food Pantry, on Saturday, August 19th, 2017.

We will host a 1-mile fun run/walk, a 4-mile run and a 7-mile run. All races start and finish at John Stewart Elementary School, 817 Prairie Valley St, Elburn, IL.

Unique to our event, the 4-mile and 7-mile courses cross the Union Pacific West rail line via the Anderson Road bridge, offering a stunning view of Elburn and the surrounding countryside.

Participate in the Railside 4/7 as an individual or as a team. Cross-country scoring will be used for the first (3) runners on each team. All participants age 1-12 in the 1-Mile Fun Run will receive a commerative train whistle as they cross the finish line.

Race Timing

We use a disposable chip timing tag for the 4-Mile & 7-Mile that runners receive at packet pick up on the back of their race bibs. It is a lightweight-foam backed chip and remains attached to the race bib. Runners MUST wear their race bibs on the front of their clothing in order to be timed accurately. The bib cannot be covered, holding it in your hand or putting it in your pocket will NOT read the chip.
