Each year, the Rotary Club of Long Grove partners with participating local nonprofit organizations to raise money and awareness for their worthy causes. Registration opens in mid-June.

This year's event will be held on Saturday, September 10, 2011. Check-in/registration is from 6:30am - 8:00am at the Kildeer Countryside School (click for a map), 3100 Old McHenry Rd in downtown Long Grove, which is just northwest of Routes 53 and 83. The 3K Walk and the 5K Run will both commence at 8:30.

The registration fee includes breakfast, T-shirt, bag, trophies, and awards. The registration form for participants under 18 must be signed by a parent or legal guardian.

The course for both the 5K race and the 3K walk starts in the historic Business District, then winds over Long Grove country roads. Split times are given at 1 & 2 mile marks. Water and aid stations are provided. Click here (or right click...save as/save target as...) for a map of the course. The course is USATF certified- #IL-99027JW.

A free pancake breakfast for all registered participants is provided from 8:30am - 11:00am. Guests may pay onsite for the breakfast - $6.00 for adults/$3.00 for children under 5.

Trophies and awards are given five deep in 5 year age increments, by gender, starting with a 14 and under category and ending with a 65 and over category. A link to race results will be posted at RotaryRace.org after the race - typically within 48 hours of race conclusion. All participants receive a participation ribbon.

Bicycles, in-line skates, roller skates, dogs, and other wheeled vehicles (except wheelchairs) are not allowed on the race course. Runners with baby strollers are not allowed in the race, but may participate in the 3K Walk.
