Happy 30th Birthday, Run Mahomet!!

Run Mahomet is celebrating thirty years of bringing activity and support to the Mahomet community! Run Mahomet is proud to continue to be a main fundraiser to support Mahomet Area Youth Club (MAYC)*, a vital non-profit organization providing education, programming, and community to our children. If you're looking for a great race, why not let your registration fees also support a great cause?

The course is primarily flat and considered fast. Virtual options are available for all races. Virtual runners will not be included in official timed results, but times can be submitted for final rankings. Virtual runners may run anytime the week before the in-person race date. Finisher Medals and Shirts will be mailed to all virtual runners. Maps and information: https://mahometyouth.org/run-mahomet/ .
