  Welcome to the Boone County Spirits Run at Coach’s Corner!

  We’re excited to bring our statewide mission to Belvidere as we continue our journey to complete all 102 Illinois counties. Coach’s Corner Bar & Grill will proudly serve as our Boone County stamp, and we can’t wait to celebrate this stop with you.

  Spirits Run events are relaxed, social 5Ks where runners and walkers explore a local route, visit a historic cemetery, and return for great drinks, great food, and great company. This is not a timed race — it’s a fun morning with fun people.

  What’s Included

  One cocktail at Coach’s Corner

  One small bite to eat

  Official Spirits Run T‑shirt

  Woodie‑style wooden medal

  Boone County stamp for your Adventure Book

  A fun, friendly crowd and a great local atmosphere

  Join us as we explore Belvidere, enjoy a beautiful route to the cemetery and back, and celebrate another county on our mission to complete all 102.

  We can’t wait to see you at Coach’s Corner!
