Organiser's description

PLEASE COMPLETE YOUR REGISTRATION PRIOR TO ARRIVING ON SITE. (ALL REGISTRATION ONLINE, NO PAPER REGISTRATION).

Maggie was a beloved daughter, friend, and colleague. She was passionate about being a mother, a daughter, a friend, and a special education teacher. She enjoyed running and working out, St. Patricks Day, and cheering on the Chicago White Sox. Amos had just celebrated his 3rd birthday with a Paw Patrol birthday party. He was excited to start preschool, loved to play farm, and enjoyed caring for his pet rabbit and fish. This event is to celebrate the lives that Maggie and Amos lived and all those that they impacted. All proceeds from the event, along with the memorial funds, will be placed in a scholarship fund and grants for local libraries and teachers to support learning and education for the youth in our community. To date, over $55,000 has been donated towards classrooms, libraries, and scholarships in the name of Maggie & Amos from the proceeds of this event.

* Trail Race (approximately 3 miles) multi-surface trail run with an epic hill and 1 Mile Paved Walk
* 4:00PM Start Time
* The race will be held at Rochelle Conservation Club.

Due to the terrain, we do not recommend strollers for our trail race. Our trail race features a substantial hill climb, areas with rocky footing, and potentially mud (depending on weather conditions). Our 1 Mile Fun Run is ideal for strollers and will feature a paved walk throughout its entirety.

Come for the activities all day including a professional and amateur corn hole bags tournament, free kids' activities, music, food, and more. Post-race fun includes a Rochelle Wildlife Conservation Club Steak Fry, beer garden, and live and silent auctions.

This year's band line-up includes The Killer B's performing from 12:00 - 3:00 pm and a rocking live duet mashup featuring Burn n' Bush and The Vodka Boys from 7:00 - 10:00 pm.
