Join us for the Trooper Thompsen Memorial 5k on Saturday, June 14, 2025, in St. Joseph, Champaign, a heartfelt event dedicated to celebrating the life and legacy of Corey S. Thompsen, a cherished Illinois State Trooper who tragically lost his life at the young age of 28. This spirited 5k race not only honors Corey’s passion for running—having excelled in cross country and track during his high school years—but also brings the community together in a memorable way.

Runners and supporters alike are invited to Woodard Family Park for a day filled with camaraderie and fun, featuring a beer tent, a 50/50 raffle, and a silent auction. Proceeds from the event will benefit a scholarship fund established in Corey’s memory, ensuring that his legacy of love and dedication continues to inspire future generations. Don’t miss this opportunity to run for a cause and celebrate a remarkable life!
