Downers Grove, IL
This is a school PTA fundraiser, so the atmosphere is very much a neighborhood morning out. The short option stays at a mile, and the longer route is a standard road distance, giving families a way to pick what fits them. All entry fees go back into school programs, which shapes who shows up: mostly parents, kids, and teachers.
