Course, timing, and logistics
All races start and finish near Oak Park & River Forest High School at 201 N. Scoville, with starts just east of the high school on Ontario. The 10K course passes by eight Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, including the Home and Studio. The 5K route passes by Forest Avenue homes and the Home and Studio.
The 10K Run, 5K Run, and Youth Mile use B-Tag timing built into the bib; results and placement are based on B-Tag times. The 5K Walk is not timed and walkers do not receive B-Tags. Strollers are allowed at the back of the pack in the 10K and 5K Run events and are permitted in the 5K Walk. Top three finishers in each category receive medals; participants and volunteers receive long-sleeved FLW-inspired shirts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
