Blake's Shining Star 2026
Blake's Shining Star is a community sports event held in Neoga, Illinois. The event takes place at the Neoga Community Center located on West 6th Street. Participants can take part in either running or walking through two distinct course distances.
The event features the following distances:

- 1 mile fun run
Both the 5 km and 1 mile categories are open to individual participants across various age groups. On the day of the event, registration is conducted onsite at the community center in the morning prior to the start of the activities. The 1 mile race begins first, and the 5 km event starts immediately following the completion of the shorter distance.
This event serves as a charitable fundraiser. All proceeds generated from the participant fees are donated to Sarah Bush Hospice. The event is organized in memory of baby Blake. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
