"Attention all runners, attention all runners, here's your chance to run where Lincoln walked……."
The Lincoln Presidential Half Marathon Run will be held on Saturday, April 5, 2014 in Springfield, IL.
The City Of Springfield, IL invites you to participate in one of the Midwest’s premier half marathons. This is the only race where you can immerse yourself in Lincoln history and enjoy a scenic run past the only home he ever owned, his law office, the Old State Capitol where he delivered his “House Divided” speech, and his final resting place in Oak Ridge Cemetery.
The USATF(USA Track & Field) certified course starts and ends at the historic Old State Capitol.
The Lincoln Sites and Springfield’s hospitality make this a destination race for the whole family.
There will be a post-race with food and beverages on the lawn of the Old State Capitol, and all finishers will receive a giant $5 medal and an opportunity to have their picture taken with Lincoln impersonator Michael Krebs as well as other Civil War interpreters.
