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 in August. The race features a challenging USATF-certified 10K course that passes through the fairgrounds, Lincoln Park, and Oak Ridge Cemetery, as well as 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 exclusively for volunteers. Registration includes a race shirt if completed by the deadline, and live race results are available online with awards for top finishers across various age groups.
