Event Description
Welcome to registration for the 6th Annual Tri-State Warrior Run/Walk! Enjoy a beautiful Fall morning with a 5k and 10k run or 1 mile walk through the scenic grounds of the historic Illinois Veteran's Home in Quincy Illinois. Dedicated in 1886 as the Illinos Soldier's and Sailor's Home, this facility is one of the largest and oldest in the United States.
Routes will take participants around the historic grounds to see extraordinary architechture, peaceful woods, Deer Park, US Military memorials and finish along the inspirational Avenue of Flags. Check back, complete route details for 2018 coming soon.
Weather: late October in Southwestern IL can be anywhere from mild 50s-60s to 20s & 30s-we've had everything since this race began so watch the local weather for what to expect race week! No matter what the temperature happens to be, it's always a beautiful day to run at the historic IL Vet's Home.
Come join us for this wonderful family event that benefits the Tri-State Warrior Outreach, supporting unmet needs of area Veterans and their families since 2012.
