Race Against COVID-19 5K

The Carle Volunteers RSO at the University of Illinois is very excited to be hosting the Race Against COVID-19 - a virtual 5K that can be done right from home! Whether you choose to run, jog, or walk, it will be a great time for all of us to get active, while also helping out our community. All proceeds will be donated to the Carle Center for Philanthropy COVID-19 Support Fund to help meet Carle Foundation Hospital’s greatest COVID-related challenges – everything from equipment to supporting frontline caregivers to patient safety. Let's Race Against COVID-19 together!

Entry fee for the race is only $5, although you may choose to donate additional money during the registration process and/or recruit friends and family to donate to your fundraising page. If you are one of the top 20 donors, you will be eligible to receive a free race shirt. Only the individuals with the 20 largest combined donation and fundraising totals will receive a shirt. The individual who runs the fastest time in each age group will be awarded a $10 gift certificate to RC Outfitters in Peoria, IL. T-shirts and gift certificates can be picked up after the race (more details to come on when and where pick-up will be), or we can mail your t-shirt and/or gift certificate to you at no cost.

Thank you to all of our sponsors and participants!
