Frank Lloyd Wright Races
The 50th Frank Lloyd Wright Races take place in Oak Park, Illinois, with start and finish located near Oak Park & River Forest High School at 201 N Scoville Ave. The event program includes multiple race and walk distances for adults and children.
Distances and event types:
- 10K Run, 6.2 Miles
- 5K Run, 3.1 Miles
- 5K Walk, 3.1 Miles
- Youth Mile, 1 Mile
- Lil Runners, 50, 75, and 100 Yards for ages three to five
The 10K course passes by eight Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, including the Home and Studio. The 5K route passes Forest Avenue homes and the Home and Studio. All races start and finish near the high school, with race starts located just east of the school on Ontario.
Timing and race procedures: the 10K, 5K Run, and Youth Mile use a B-Tag timing system built into the race bib; the 5K Walk is not timed and walkers do not receive B-Tags. Official finish placements and results are based on B-Tag times.
Strollers are allowed at the back of the pack for runners in the 10K and 5K Run events and are permitted in the 5K Walk. All proceeds support the Park District of Oak Park scholarship fund. All participants receive FLW-inspired long-sleeved shirts and finisher medals. Registration is non-refundable. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
