2026 5k and 10-mile courses (same as 2025)
There is a water stop on Congdon, just after Cedar avenue. Portable toilets available at the start/finish.
For the 10-Mile, the same as above plus water stops as well as portable toilets under I-90 and in the West Dundee park.
First Aid stations at the start/finish and in West Dundee.
new for 2026: the 2k walk
ALL COURSES START & END JUST NORTH OF THE BORDEN LIBRARY
All courses still begin & end at the corner of Grove Avenue and Ann Street just north of the Gail Borden Library (270 N. Grove Avenue). The downhill on Grove Avenue for both races will enhance a sprint to the finish. Running up Cedar Avenue at just beyond the 8-mile mark will remind long time Fox Trot runners of the old course up Duncan Avenue.
The new 2K Walk is an out and back on the beautiful Fox River Trail. This section of the trail is mostly shaded.
