Mullarkey's Bar and Grill Spirits Run

Lace up for a spirited 5K adventure at Mullarkey's Bar and Grill Spirits Run, taking place on Sunday, June 7, 2026, in the charming town of Mount Morris, IL. This unique 5K is a highlight of the Illinois Adventure Series, offering runners the chance to conquer a course in Ogle County as part of a statewide challenge to complete a 5K in all 102 Illinois counties. The untimed, community-focused event promises a relaxed and enjoyable experience, starting and finishing right at Mullarkey's Bar and Grill at 12 W. Main Street.

The course itself features a simple, sidewalk-safe route, perfect for runners of all levels looking for a fun morning out with friends or aiming to add another county stamp to their collection. Typical race day conditions in early June include pleasant highs around 81°F and lows around 58°F, with a moderate 19% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable environment for your run. What truly sets this event apart is the vibrant post-race celebration back at Mullarkey's Bar and Grill, a local favorite known for its inviting atmosphere.

Participants will be rewarded not only with the satisfaction of completing the 5K but also with fantastic swag, including a collectible Spirits Run shirt, a county-specific finisher medal, and a Mullarkey's-branded runner cup, along with their official Ogle County stamp. Whether you're a seasoned "county collector" or simply seeking a festive run with good company and a celebratory drink at the finish, the Mullarkey's Bar and Grill Spirits Run offers the perfect blend of movement, camaraderie, and good spirits.
