We have been collaborating with our Chamber of Commerce and have made it possible to bring our Rantoul 5k/1k back to our 4th of July weekend festivities. This year's 5k will start at Rantoul High School and finish in the downtown Rantoul business district during our Friday Night Freedom Celebration. There will be live music, beverages, food, bags tournaments, the bubble guy for kids, and a balloon artist! This year's race will still benefit the RTHS track program, Rantoul Rockets AAU Team, and the Rantoul Crusaders Special Olympics program.
