The Elmhurst Twilight Mile is a race for athletes who want to race on a fast 1‑mile circuit in front of large crowds and on the same course the elite cyclists raced. Powered by the Elmhurst Running Club, it offers middle‑ and short‑distance runners a chance to chase a PR on a closed, scenic course around Elmhurst University.
Elite pacers set target times for each start wave per the Renntag schedule: 7:30 pm (opens at 5 minutes to and targets 13‑minute pace), 7:55 pm (elite women, under 6 minutes), 8:15 pm (elite men/open, under 5 minutes). Pacers will lead their waves; do not cross the course unless a crossing guard has given the OK.
Monthly averages based on historical data (2000–present).
