Event summary
Get ready for an exhilarating day of fitness and fun at the Arcola Broom Corn Festival Races on Saturday, September 12, 2026, in the charming town of Arcola, Douglas! This exciting event features two fantastic race options: a challenging 10K (6.2 miles) that will take you along scenic brick and hard surfaces through the picturesque surroundings north of Arcola, finishing right in the heart of downtown. For those looking for a shorter challenge, the 5K (3.1 miles) course will take you through the vibrant streets of Arcola.

Join in the excitement and celebrate the spirit of community at this unmissable event!
