Run Your Axes Off
Run Your Axes Off takes place on June 27, 2026, at Lake Pittsfield on Pittsfield Lake Dr in Pittsfield, Illinois. The event is organized by the Pittsfield Fire Department and benefits the department's apparatus fund.
Participants can choose between two event options held on the same course. The competitive option is a 5K that is timed and will use a certified course; awards are given to top finishers. The non competitive option is a 5K that is not timed and is intended for participants who prefer a recreational pace.
Registration carries a fee of $35 and includes a commemorative t shirt. The route runs around Lake Pittsfield and offers lake views and outdoor scenery. Proceeds from the event support the apparatus fund for the Pittsfield Fire Department.
The event description notes both walking and running as participant activities and indicates a mix of competitive and recreational entries. Specific start and finish times are not stated here. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
