Stop, drop, and RUN! Welcome to the 3nd annual Champaign Firefighters Local 1260 5K race! Grab your friends and family to run or walk the local Carle at the Fields trail! This is a chip timed 3.1mi route that winds through the distinctive Southwest Champaign area including many local businesses, parks, and of course, fire station. This local race seeks to support the Champaign Firefighters Benevolent Fund, which was created in 2022 as a new charitable organization. The mission of the Champaign Firefighters Benevolent Fund is to honor the sacrifice of the family members of our fallen brothers and sisters; to support active and retired Local 1260 members and their families; to support other firefighters and their families in Illinois and beyond; and, to provide financial support to community members and/or groups locally. This is a flat, paved path. Participants who register before May 31st will receive a official race t-shirt! Free parking in the Health Alliance parking lot is available! Shirts and Bibs may be picked up the morning of the race near start/finish line. New for 2026, this year will be chip timed!
