🌦️ Weather Considerations

Weather: late October in West Central IL can be anywhere from mild 50s-60s to 20s & 30s—we've had everything since this race began so watch the local weather for what to expect race week! No matter what the temperature happens to be, it's always a beautiful day to run at Mays Park and the historic IL Vet's Home—the oldest in the U.S. and worth the visit!
