Lake Land College 5K

The Lake Land College 5K is a unique cross-country running event held on the scenic campus of Lake Land College in Mattoon, Illinois.

The race celebrates the launch of the college's new cross country team and welcomes participants of all ages and fitness levels in a fun, vibrant college atmosphere.
