The newest family-friendly village event is set to take place on Saturday, March 16, 2024, at the Tim Osmond Sports Complex (38 Depot St, Antioch, IL 60002). This exciting community event will kick off the unofficial start of Spring, St. Patrick’s Day weekend!
The 5K route will accommodate both seasoned runners and those looking for a leisurely walk with friends and family. The racecourse offers an inclusive and enjoyable experience for participants of all ages.
