Get ready to bask in the sun as you lace up your running shoes and hit the riverfront trail. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun way to kick off the summer, this event is perfect for all ages and fitness levels.

From 5-10pm, experience the thrill of our riverfront backdrop at our block party. As you cross the finish line, you'll be greeted with games, food trucks, music and specials from Rhythm Kitchen. HOKA and the Sun Foundation will be joining us under the lights, so mark your calendars!

ALL DONATIONS during registration (and the 50/50 raffle that evening) will be given directly to THE SUN FOUNDATION: developing the creativity of young people in Central Illinois since 1973.

Gather your friends and family, and join us for a memorable evening of fitness, fun, and sunshine on this year's summer solstice.

Let's make this summer solstice one to remember!
