Abe's Amble

Abe's Amble is an annual running event held in Springfield, Illinois, coinciding with the last day of the Illinois State Fair each August. The race features a challenging USATF-certified 10K course that passes through the fairgrounds, Lincoln Park, and Oak Ridge Cemetery, along with a 5K option. Both distances start with a traditional mass start.

Participants receive race medals and can enjoy refreshments at the finish line. The event also offers virtual 5K and 10K races, but only for volunteers. Registration guarantees a race shirt if completed by the specified deadline.

Live race results are available online, and awards are given for overall and age group categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
