Lace up your shoes for the 30th Annual Race with Your Heart, set to take place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in the charming town of Eureka, Illinois. This inspiring event offers a 10K run, a 5K run, and a leisurely 1-mile walk, inviting participants of all abilities to join. More than just a race, your participation directly supports the vital mission of Heartline and Heart House, providing essential services and shelter to women and children in Woodford County.

The race courses promise a beautiful journey through the woodlands along Eureka Lake and local subdivisions. Runners in the 5K and 10K distances can expect a mostly flat road course, punctuated by a couple of significant hills, including one ascending the Eureka Lake dam near the finish line. The 10K route adds an extra challenge with a short loop through a quiet neighborhood and an additional hill. For those seeking a more relaxed experience, the 1-mile walk offers a flat path around Eureka Lake. Typical race day conditions in mid-June feature highs around 82°F and lows around 61°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the scenic routes, the Race with Your Heart is renowned for its welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. The event culminates in a festive post-race celebration, complete with raffles and a complimentary pancake and sausage breakfast, including fruit, for all attendees. Packet pickup and same-day registration will be held at the Eureka Lake Pavilion, a central hub for this community-focused event. Join fellow runners and walkers for a day of fitness, camaraderie, and meaningful support for a crucial local cause.
