Because of our COVID-19 policy and health screening process this year, with the exception of Youth Runners and minors running in any of our other events, each participant must pick up his or her own race packet (race number, goody bag, and race shirt) no later than Friday April 29, at 7 pm during the Health & Fitness Expo at the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC). The expo is open Thursday April 28, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday April 29, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Contact the race hotline (217-372-1444) if your travel plans prevent you from picking up your race packet (race number, goody bag, and race shirt).
Dynamic bib assigning: We are using cutting-edge, dynamic bib assigning, which speeds up our race number pickup process quite a bit. On Tuesday, April 26, we will email each entrant a unique QR code. Print and bring to the expo a copy of your QR code (or show it to us on your phone) to be assigned and receive your race number.
The address of the ARC is 201 E. Peabody, Champaign, IL. (See Google’s map.) For parking, see our parking map.

5K entrants will receive a Bella + Canvas-brand short-sleeve unisex jersey tee and a drawstring backpack. Finishers get a great medal, food and drink after the race, and one beverage at the 4th Mile on Friday. (Entrants must display their race bib to receive the beverage.)
Bella + Canvas-brand short-sleeve unisex jersey tee, made of airlume combed and ringspun cotton/polyester. The 5K will feel oh so soft!! Note: the 2022 5K shirts will run smaller than the ALO brand shirts we had in 2019. Select your shirt size with this fact in mind. The shirt comes in adult sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL and XXXL and youth sizes S, M, and L. The shirt color is heather orange. All 5K entrants will receive this unique shirt featuring the 2020 shirt design on the front and the 2022 design on the back. See shirt sizing chart here.
To lessen overcrowding on the 5K course, we use a wave start. When entrants register for the 5K, they will pick one of the estimated finish times below:
Your corral letter will be printed on your bib number. Strollers are allowed in the 5K only. If you have a stroller, you must be walking and start in the walker corral.
The fastest runners are assigned to the first wave and occupy the first start corral. After these runners have cleared the start line, the next corral moves up to the starting line. After a predetermined interval, the second wave starts and so on.
Three-deep awards are presented in the following age-groups:
| 10 & under | 11-12 | 13-14 | 15-19 |

The top three male and top three female runners will receive overall awards. These runners are not eligible for age group awards.
In addition to the overall awards, there will be first-, second-, and third-place awards for each of the age groups listed above. Age group awards are based on chip time.
