ERC John Hennelly Public Cross Country Races

ERC John Hennelly Public Cross Country Races are held at Lovelace Park in Evanston, IL. The event features a three-lap, 3.5-mile cross-country course that weaves hills, open fields and varied terrain, offering a challenging run for individuals and teams. Races are open to runners forming teams of three or more, with unlimited participants.

The competition includes Community, Open, and Masters races, with early-bird entry options: adults $20, ages 14 and under $15, families of three or more $55. Donations support race-day operations, and proceeds above $2,750 fund a future public XC event. Races run rain or shine, and lightning closes the course.
