'Ramble into Spring' Road Race at McKendree on March 21, 2015
(LEBANON, Ill., November 12, 2014) - McKendree University in Lebanon, Ill., will host
its next road race on Saturday, March 21, 2015. The seventh annual “Ramble into Spring”
offers three distance options: a 5K run/walk, 10K run or 10-mile run. All three events
begin at 8 a.m.
Depending on the progress of Alton Street road construction, the 3.1, 6.2, and 10-mile
courses are to begin at the center of campus and travel through historic downtown
Lebanon. The 5K route then goes to Lebanon’s Horner Park and returns to the finish
line back on campus. The 10K and 10-mile races wind through the rolling rural landscape
of northern St. Clair County and also finish back at the McKendree campus.
The registration fee is $15 in advance or $20 on race day. Register in person at the
Intramural Gym in the Melvin Price Convocation Center on campus; mail in the registration
