Run with the Nuns 2026

Kick off your afternoon at Canal Street Pub with the Canal Street Spirits Run, a 5K that blends Lemont’s canal‑town character with the cozy, old‑school charm of a neighborhood pub.

The run begins and ends right at Canal Street Pub’s doorstep. Participants head out toward the historic cemetery turnaround before making their way back to the pub for a spirited finish. This route is friendly for walkers, joggers, and runners alike — anyone looking for a fun, story‑rich adventure is welcome.

After crossing the finish line, runners can settle in at the pub for post‑run cocktails and food, crafted especially for this event. Spectators are encouraged to join the atmosphere and enjoy the pub offerings while cheering on their runners.

This event celebrates everything that makes Lemont special: canal history, community energy, and the unmistakable warmth of a local pub gathering.

Join us for a run that ends exactly where it should — back at the bar, surrounded by good people and good spirits.
