Event summary

Get ready to lace up your running shoes for The Lookout, an exciting road race taking place on Sunday, September 20, 2026, at the picturesque Iroquois Park. This fun-filled event offers two race distances: tackle the scenic 7-mile loop or opt for the shorter 3.4-mile loop, perfect for those looking for a brisk challenge.

Every runner will receive a finisher’s medal, and additional awards will be presented to the top male and female competitors. Don’t forget to bring your own reusable water bottle, as this event is cupless to promote sustainability. Join us for a day of fitness, community, and stunning scenery. Whether you're a seasoned runner or a newcomer, The Lookout promises a memorable experience for all!

Organiser's Description

The Lookout is a fun new road race over 7 beautiful miles through scenic Iroquois Park. You will find yourself visiting each of the overlooks at the top of Iroquois Park. As we head into the fall this race will bring some beautiful fall views of downtown, the meadow and wooded roadway around the top of the park as well as the rolling hills along the base of the park. If you have participated in the Iroquois Hill Runners Thanksgiving Day Run or Midnight Hill Climb you are well aware of the hill to the top. This hill is a slow steady climb but totally worth the downhill boost mid-way through the course. We hope you come out and join us!

Not up for the full Lookout Loop miles? Join us for the Short Loop for 3.4! The Short Loop is just over 5K to make the loop a complete loop around the lower pedestrian path of the park.

We ask that you plan to arrive early for parking. Carpool as much as possible. We want to be respectful of the parks so we are able to have many more great events in the future. Carpooling is preferred to make space for everyone planning to participate. If you are planning to run with a friend, we encourage carpooling.
