Are you ready to make a difference while challenging yourself to take on new adventures? Then you should sign up for the St. Jude Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer Half Marathon in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois in September 2024. This inspiring event is much more than a half marathon – it’s a community of people united to raise funds for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital while promoting fitness, hope, and humanity. Starting early in the morning at Illinois Wesleyan University, the course takes you through Bloomington-Normal’s beautiful neighborhoods, past historic landmarks, and across our town’s energetic streets. You can expect to be cheered along the route as you run past Tipton Park and Four Seasons. The course is a runner’s delight with challenging hills, scenic views, and a course time limit of 3.5 hours for those taking on the half marathon distance (a generous limit for runners who wish to take a bit more time).
