Nina LeCuyer Memorial 5K

Sheridan, IL

Registration openAnnual since at least 2018

About the Nina LeCuyer Memorial 5K

The course runs through the streets of the village, starting and finishing at the American Legion post. It is a road race through a small town, so the surroundings are quiet and residential rather than parkland or trail. Awards go to top overall finishers, top veteran, and age group placers across a wide spread of divisions.

The registration fee covers entry plus the Legion's Memorial Day breakfast afterward, open to all participants. After breakfast, the post holds a Memorial Day ceremony honoring veterans. The race itself is a tribute to a longtime Legion supporter, and proceeds go toward community members in need and the Illinois Veterans Home.

Common Questions About the Nina LeCuyer Memorial 5K

Will I finish last at the Nina LeCuyer Memorial 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 32:23, and the last recorded finisher came in around 58:23, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Nina LeCuyer Memorial 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (62 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Nina LeCuyer Memorial 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:12 while the median finisher took 32:23. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
