Running

A charity run from Bloomington-Normal to Peoria turns 40 this year. It was the first of more than 30 satellite fundraisers convening in Peoria by foot. Proceeds support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and its affiliate clinics across the country — the first of which opened in Peoria in 1972.

The inaugural event is part of Parks & Recreation Month, a nationwide campaign celebrating active lifestyles in community green spaces.

This weekend's offerings include two ways to beat the heat and a 10k run on the Mother Road.
