Run the River for Respect 5K
The LaSalle County Sheriff's Office organizes an officially timed 5K at Heritage Harbor in Ottawa, Illinois, on September 27, 2026. The course follows a scenic route near the river at Heritage Harbor and is presented as a community running event with timing for participant performance.
Registration opens on January 1, 2026. The organizer lists tiered registration fees: $30 for early registration before August 27, $35 after August 27, $40 after September 12, and $45 on the day of the event. Registrants who register by September 12 are guaranteed a race t-shirt.
Proceeds from the event benefit Special Olympics Illinois to support athletes with intellectual disabilities. The event information notes in-person registration availability on the morning of the event and that timing will be used to track performance.
