CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) — The theme, poster and new events for the 17th annual Christie Clinic Illinois Race Weekend have been announced.
Organizers chose the theme "Leave Your Legacy" to celebrate individual accomplishments by everyone who takes part in the weekend and how they create an impact on the community.
"Runners, volunteers, staff and partners can all make a lasting impact through their unique Race Weekend experience," said Race Director Jan Seeley. "From athletic excellence to taking the first step towards health, from building inclusive programming to giving back to charity, every person who joins us for Race Weekend has a chance to write a story to remember."
The official race poster was also revealed, with about 1,500 copies available on a first-come, first-served basis at the Health and Fitness expo.
The weekend includes a marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, mile, youth run and 8 multi-event challenges.
New I-Challenges this year include the Micro I-Challenge, which combines the Michael Hogue Team Mile and the 5K, and the Nano I-Challenge, connecting the Michael Hogue Team Mile and the Busey Illinois Youth Run.
Race weekend returns on April 23-25, 2026.
