Event Overview

The Great Western Half-Marathon & 10K is hosted by the Fox River Trail Runners. The event has a history of over 25 years. The event features two distances: a half-marathon and a 10K.

Course Details

Both races are described as competitive and flat out-and-back courses. They take place on the Great Western Trail, which is a public use path on a former railway line. The western portion of the trail is used.

Event Date and Charity

The event is scheduled for a Sunday in early May. The organizing club donates $5 from each participant's registration fee to charity. Additional participant donations are also collected. These funds are split equally among three local non-profit mental health charity partners. In a previous year, the combined donations totaled $4,000 for the three charities.
