BOB BLAZIER RUN FOR THE ARTS

The Bob Blazier Run for the Arts is an annual fundraising run organized by Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake, Illinois. The event includes at least two course options: 5K and 1 mile. Participants may run or walk; the event also welcomes spectators. Proceeds support the Raue Center, a historic non-profit theater.

Background and purpose

The race was established as a charity 5K 29 years ago to honor Bob Blazier and to benefit the performing arts center. The event is described as a community-building fundraiser that keeps Blazier’s legacy connected to local arts support. The Raue Center organizes the event at its location on North Williams Street in Crystal Lake. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
