Onarga ALA Poppy 5K
The American Legion Auxiliary Unit hosts an annual 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk in Onarga, with proceeds used to support veterans and their families. Registration opens 1/1/2027 and closes 5/12/2027; the registration fee is $30.
Registration and the race finish line are located near the historic Onarga American Legion Post 551 building on the eastern side of Durham Park. The course is a flat, paved route that loops around the park and continues through the town streets. Members of the Onarga American Legion family will be on site to direct and support participants.
All ages are invited to participate. Strollers are allowed, and parents or guardians who participate with minor children are responsible for those children. Restrooms are available on site.
Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female runners, the top male and female youth participants ages 5 to 14, and the top walker. All participants receive a t-shirt and a swag bag containing items donated by local businesses.
A small parking lot is available at the American Legion building. Additional parking is available at the park swimming pool and at Iroquois West Middle School, 303 N. Evergreen St. Participants who park at the school should expect about a six minute walk to the registration area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
