I Raced The Law 5K and Fun Run
The event takes place on Sunday, May 3, 2026, in Oswego, IL. Proceeds support the Oswego Public Safety Cadets Post #1833 and will be used for equipment, training, and to help lower participation costs for the 2027 Public Safety Cadets Summer Showdown. The race course is USATF certified and the event is chip timed.
The event includes a competitive run where participants can race against a police officer in their age and gender bracket. All participants receive a t-shirt and those who beat the officer's time can mark the "I Won" box on the shirt. A 1-mile interactive fun run is also offered.
