About the Event

The St. Elizabeth Royal Run is back this year, but in November (near St. Elizabeth's Feast Day) instead of on our June Picnic weekend.

Come join us for the excitement of a timed 5K or an untimed 1K Fun Run.

Day-of packet pickup will be from 7-8 a.m.
Time 5K (at your own pace) begins at 8 a.m.
1K Fun Run begins at 9 a.m.

Both races begin at St. Elizabeth Church & School, 2300 Pontoon Road, Granite City, IL. The 5K course is a loop running on city streets and bike trails. The 1K Fun Run will stay on the St. Elizabeth property.

All 5K participants will receive a finisher's medal and a royal blue performance hooded sweatshirt (registration required by October 15 to guarantee sweatshirt availability.)

All 1K Fun Run participants will receive a royal blue performance hooded sweatshirt (registration required by October 15 to guarantee sweatshirt availability.)

Early packet pickup will be available at St. Elizabeth on November 14 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

All proceeds support the St. Elizabeth Centennial Capital Campaign.

This event will happen rain or shine and there are no refunds.
