Neoga Days 5K Run & Walk

Blue4Crewe 5k

The #BlueforCrewe 5K is a run and walk held at Trinity Lutheran School in Stewardson, Illinois, in loving memory of Crewe Jones. Full of energy and joy, Crewe left a lasting impression on all who knew him, and this race honors the spirited enthusiasm we continue to remember and cherish.

Proceeds from the event support improvements at Trinity Lutheran School and provide tuition assistance for families.

Join us for the 4th Annual 5k and 1 mile run/walk to raise funds for the Angel of Hope Statue and Memorial Garden! The race begins at the future location of our Angel of Hope Statue and Memorial Garden, in the open lot across the street from St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Teutopolis. Registration begins at 7:00 AM, and the race starts at 8:00 AM. All Children 12 and under can register for $5 - price will change at checkout for these youth registrations. The registration fee for participants 13 and older is $25 until April 25th; the price will then increase to $30. Participants can register on the morning of the event, however, we strongly encourage participants to register before the event. We plan to start the race promptly at 8:00, and to ensure that, we cannot guarantee that day-of-event registrations will receive a race timing bib. Everyone who comes to register the day of the event will still be able to register and participate in the race!

The third annual My Reason to Run Fundraiser is back — this time with a mission bigger than myself. In 2022, I, Britney Walters-Chester, survived leukemia, but cancer caused a stroke which left me with a paralyzed arm and limited use of my hand. Since then, I’ve worked tirelessly to regain function and independence, learning firsthand how critical access to recovery resources can be, and how difficult they often are to obtain.

This race is about paying forward the support and hope that recovery requires. All funds raised will be donated to local individuals in need of stroke recovery assistance. Whether that’s helping provide access to therapy, medical devices, or vital resources that are often delayed or denied due to cost and insurance barriers.

Join us as we run for healing, resilience, and the belief that no one should face stroke recovery alone. Together, we can help someone take their next step forward.

The Lytle Park Tri returns on the Fourth of July with newly re-mapped courses and the addition of a standalone 5K, making this the biggest and most flexible version of the event to date.

The Sprint Triathlon features an outdoor pool swim, eliminating open-water guesswork and making this an ideal first triathlon while still delivering a competitive race for seasoned athletes. The updated bike and run courses are designed to be straightforward and efficient, allowing racers to focus on performance, not navigation.

Alongside the Sprint Triathlon, the new 5K Run gives runners a chance to be part of race day without committing to all three disciplines. Sprint Triathlon relay teams are also available, making this a great option for friends, families, or coworkers who want to race together.

Kick off your Independence Day by racing in the morning and celebrating the rest of the day. Whether you’re chasing a podium, completing your first triathlon, or starting July 4 with a fast 5K, the Lytle Park Tri is a strong, no-nonsense way to celebrate.

More details, including course maps and race-day logistics, will be posted as the event approaches.
