About

Central Illinois’ premier running experience and a 50-year community tradition — a world-class, fast flat 4 Mile and challenging 15K along the Illinois River in downtown Peoria.

Pacers

Pacemakers will be announced on the start day for both the 4 Mile and 15K. Pacers display flags to identify their pace group and set target times per wave shown at the event schedule. Their role is to help runners maintain a steady, goal-pace effort. Runners must remain visible on the front of their body and follow pacer guidance in their designated wave.
