Arcola Broom Corn Festival Race

Arcola Broom Corn Festival Races take place in Arcola, Illinois, as part of the town’s Broom Corn Festival atmosphere. The weekend event offers three distances: a 10K (6.2 miles) routed on brick and hard surfaces through and north of Arcola, finishing in downtown, and a 5K Run and a 5K Walk, all within town. The course features a police escort, aid stations, and split times to help runners track progress.

Roads are closed to bicycles, roller blades, and skateboards; baby joggers or strollers are allowed for walkers only and must start behind other walkers. Moore Memorial Park serves as the race venue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
