Race-day registration is from 7:45 a.m. until 8:45 a.m. at Old Main. An entry fee of $10 will be collected from each participant, while awards are designated for the top male and female finisher in each of three categories: run, walk, and wheelchair. In addition, McDonalds will provide a gift pack, food, and drinks to all racers. Prizes are also planned for the best full-body costume worn by a participant.

Additional Information

For a dozen years now, it has been an Eastern Illinois University tradition to stage a 2.5K race for runners and walkers wishing to show off the overall athleticism of the EIU community. This 1.5-mile road race, sponsored by the Department of Recreation Administration, begins at 9 a.m. Participants begin at the corner of Seventh Street and Lincoln Avenue, making their way north on Seventh Street to the Charleston Square, then returning to Old Main via Sixth Street.

Mob Events

Have you raced through fire, crawled under barbed wire, and sloshed through mud pits with your friends? What are you waiting for? It's probably the most fun you'll ever have at a race. Throw on a costume, grab a beer, and get downright dirty when you join the Mob.
