CHAMPAIGN - Illinois marathon organizers are still looking for about 20 volunteers for the races Saturday.
The marathon and half marathon start Saturday morning at 7:00 with the 10K following at 7:35.
Organizers say there will be about 20,500 participating.
Runners pick up their information packets and gear bags here at the U of I's ARC until 8:00 Friday night.
Co-Director Jan Seeley says it's going to give the local economy a huge boost.
She says the anticipated economic impact for the weekend is over $10 million and every hotel in Champaign Urbana is booked.
To volunteer, there's a link for the Illinois Marathon under Sitewatch.
