Welcome to the 3nd annual Champaign Firefighters Local 1260 5K race! Grab your friends and family to run or walk the local Carle at the Fields trail! This is a chip timed 3.1mi route that winds through the distinctive Southwest Champaign area including many local businesses, parks, and of course, fire station.

This local race seeks to support the Champaign Firefighters Benevolent Fund, which was created in 2022 as a new charitable organization. The mission of the Champaign Firefighters Benevolent Fund is to honor the sacrifice of the family members of our fallen brothers and sisters; to support active and retired Local 1260 members and their families; to support other firefighters and their families in Illinois and beyond; and, to provide financial support to community members and/or groups locally.

This is a flat, paved path.

Join us in celebrating the life and memory of Corey S. Thompsen – a beloved husband, family member, friend, and Illinois State Trooper who passed away in the line of duty at 28 years old. Corey was an avid runner, earning his varsity letter in cross country and track all four years at St. Joseph-Ogden High School. He competed for both Western Illinois University and Danville Area Community College.

The Trooper Thompsen Memorial 5k will be a fitting event to carry on Corey's love of running and community. You're invited to Woodard Family Park for the race, touch-a-truck, face painting, food trucks, 50/50 drawing, and raffles. Proceeds and donations will go to the Trooper Corey S. Thompsen Memorial Fund, which will help support local charitable projects and scholarships in Corey's name.
