About this race
Lincoln's Legacy of Giving 5K/10K is back at Centennial Park! This is where it all started back when this event was called the SOHO 10K. We've been all over the place trying to find a home and so we are back where we started. This time instead busing everyone to Stuart Park you simply run out and back on the trail. If necessary we'll do a wave start to keep the trail from getting too crowded.
The 5K and 10K are both an out and back on the Sangamon Valley Trail.
Start and Finish in the field just south of the Centennial Park Hill.
Packet pickup is the morning of the event starting at 7am at the trailhead of SVT on the southside of the Centennial Park Hill.
