The Longest Day Run
The Longest Day Run is a road running event in Geneva, Illinois, held on Saturday, June 19, 2027. The event uses Old Mill Park at 5 East State Street as its primary location. It offers both in-person and virtual participation options.
Race formats:

The in-person course is described as a closed scenic route and is chipped timed. The event provides finisher medals and age-group awards. For the 5K there are overall top male and female awards and 1st through 3rd place awards in age groups from 10 & under through 80 and over. The 10K has age awards in brackets from 11–15 up to 70+.
Pre-race packet pickup is scheduled on the Thursday before the event, and race day packet pickup is available at the park. Virtual participants may run or walk their selected distance during the virtual window in mid-June; virtual entrants receive race swag shipped the week of June 19 and can submit results via a tracking app or manual entry.
Registration packages vary and may include a tech shirt option, a custom finisher medal, post-race food and celebration items such as cinnamon rolls and coffee, and music at the finish area.
