Sandwich, IL
Entry is $40 now and rises to $45 after Oct 10, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
The course runs through the Sandwich Fairgrounds, a historic site where agricultural fairs have drawn generations of local families. The grounds give the route a character you do not find on a typical road race, with fairground surroundings replacing the usual suburban streets. A high school cross country meet runs the same morning, so the atmosphere around the start area is already buzzing when the main race gets going.
