Bully Blitz 5k Run

Bully Blitz 5k Run 1k Walk is a charity running event in Wilmington, Illinois. It offers a 5K race and a 1-mile walk, held on the Wauponsee Glacial Trail-Symerton Access. The daytime atmosphere blends fitness with a rescue-theme, featuring vendors and adoptable dogs, as well as education about pit bulls through Its A Pittie Rescue, the event’s nonprofit beneficiary.

The day includes a competitive wave and a fun‑run wave, with awards for overall and age‑group finishers. Proceeds support rescuing, rehabbing, and rehoming pit bulls. Check-in takes place at Symerton Tap & Grill, and early registration helps guarantee a race shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
