  Come join us on Saturday, June 6th for the 2nd Annual "Princeton Mile" road race!

  Certified Course! IL26001NM

  The race will take place on Princeton’s historic Main Street, starting at the Apollo Theater and ending at Rotary Park, just in time to enjoy live music, food, and drinks at Rotary Club of Princeton's 5th Annual Shrimpfest.

  The course is a straight line, fully paved city street. If you are looking to set a personal best time for a mile, this would be the place to do it. The course has been certified, and the race will be chip timed. The first race will feature “elite” runners who will be competing for a $1000 prize which will be awarded to the first male and female finisher. Both male and female second place finishers will receive $750 and third place $500. In order to participate in the elite race, male runners must be able to run a mile under 4:30 minutes, and female runners must be able to run a mile under 5:30 minutes. The second race is open to anyone wishing to run and have fun. Anytime Fitness of Princeton will also offer complimentary assisted stretching and body scans at the end of the race.

  All paid entrants will receive a race bib/chip, a “Princeton Mile” t-shirt designed and printed by a local Chamber member business, as well as a Princeton Mile logo'd drawstring bag. Awards will be announced on the stage at Shrimpfest immediately following the completion of the second race. For those traveling from Chicago or the suburbs, Princeton has an Amtrak station. The start time of the race will allow for those taking the train from the city and suburbs ample time to jog to the starting line before the races begin. The race finishes at Rotary Park which is adjacent to the Amtrak station.

  Please, come join us and enjoy all Princeton has to offer! This is a family-friendly event featuring live music, food, activities for kids, and the chance to run your fastest mile!
