About the Raptor Run 5K
The course runs through Shawnee Prairie Preserve on natural trails, moving through open prairie, wooded stretches, and wetland areas. Along the way it passes several preserved historic structures on the property before looping back toward the Nature Center. The footing is trail rather than pavement, so expect softer ground and the kind of scenery that changes with the season.
Proceeds support a raptor ambassador program run by the county park district, which gives the race a clear local purpose. Post-race refreshments and an awards ceremony are held at the finish area near the Nature Center once the field has come in.

The Raptor Run 5K has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
