Charity 5K

This year, the run will take place on June 8th at 7:00am. Please show up by 6:50am to check in at the check in table at the Morton High School main entrance on Illinois. The start and finish lines are in front of the main Morton High School entrance on Illinois Ave as well. We ask that you park in the main Morton High School parking lot. After parking, walk along Jackson St and you will find the start line on your left. You can view a course map below with mile and kilometer markers as well as a view of where to park. Restroom availability will be announced at a later date.

Below is a photo of available parking on race day near the start line. Lots are ranked from 3 stars to 1 star based on ease of parking. We encourage you to park in the Jackson Lot as displayed on the map and walk west on Jackson Street and take your first left on Illinois Avenue. The start line will be right ahead. If that parking is limited, the overflow lots in orange are the next advised location. Note that street parking on Illinois is not allowed on race day. Only volunteers may park on the north side of the start line. Finally, there is a parking lot south of the start line on Illinois. Be aware that this lot is not open to enter or exit while the race is ongoing. From wherever you park, please follow the pink lines displayed on the map below to walk from your car to the start line. Thanks for your cooperation!

Use the buttons below to see each year's results or records set at this meet. There are a plethora of records such as age group records, gender records, and overall records. Keep in mind, all results from past and current years can be found on the run signup page! There are 6 age groups that will be used for records and results (19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+) for each gender.

Throughout the year, we have had shoe bins around the town of Morton in order to collect gently used shoes. At the run, there will also be collection bins near the start and finish lines. These gently used shoes will also be donated to the Salvation Army to give to local people in need at their shelter. Please tie the pair of shoes together by the laces and bring as many as possible. No rips or too-worn shoes. Thank you so much to all of the donators so far!

This run could not have happened without our wonderful sponsors. They made the t-shirts possible at this run and any extra money raised from them will also be donated to the Salvation Army. To support this run with your business, contact us at thedistanceprojectil@gmail.com.
