City of the Sun 5k Trail Run

The annual City of the Sun 5K Trail Run will take place on November 4, 2018.   This is a unique opportunity to run a 5K Trail course on a US National Historic Landmark and UNESCO World Heritage Site.   The course begins and ends at the Interpretive Center but traverses some of the cultural and natural areas of the site.  You’ll pass through grassy fields, around mounds, through the wooded areas, and through The Grand Plaza.   Custom sun medals will only be awarded to the top 3 finishers in each category and to the overall winner in women’s and men’s category.  You will receive a souvenir T-Shirt with your registration.   Divisions are 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 and up.  Timing provided by Toolen’s Running Start, Shiloh, IL.  We also hold a 1 Mile walk on the sidewalk around the Twin Mounds.  We offer custom medals to the top 5 walkers.  You can register at Active.com.  There is a cap on this race and it has been reached for the last two years, so please register early.  For more information contact Lori at museumsociety@cahokiamounds.org or call 618-344-7316.
