Step into the heart of historic LaSalle for the 9th Street Pub Spirits Dash, a 5K adventure that blends neighborhood charm, gothic atmosphere, and the unmistakable character of one of LaSalle’s most iconic pubs. This out‑and‑back run begins and ends at 9th Street Pub, taking participants north along Crosat Street to the quiet, storied gates of Oakwood Cemetery before returning to the warm glow of the finish line.

This is a run for walkers, runners, and anyone who loves a good local legend. Along the way, you’ll pass century‑old homes, brick ghost signs, and the peaceful entrance of Oakwood — a perfect midpoint photo stop and a signature Spirits Run moment.

All participants receive: • Custom event bib • Themed commemorative cup • Access to the post‑run gathering at 9th Street Pub • Optional checkpoints and mini scavenger challenge • A route full of LaSalle history, mystery, and community spirit

Whether you’re chasing a PR or soaking in the atmosphere, the 9th Street Pub Spirits Dash delivers a memorable evening run through one of Illinois’ most character‑rich towns. Lace up, touch the gate, and return to the pub — the spirits are waiting.
