Market Street Pizza 5K Spirits Run
About this race
Join us on June 6th in historic Mt. Carroll, Illinois for the Market Street Pizza Spirits Run, a 5K that blends small‑town charm, a touch of gothic atmosphere, and the energy of a summer Farmers Market morning.
The race starts and finishes at Market Street Pizza on Market Street, right in the heart of Mt. Carroll’s beautiful historic district. Runners will head up Market Street past vintage storefronts and the Farmers Market area before climbing to Oak Hill Cemetery overlooking the town.
From there, the course follows a quiet back path along the rear of the cemetery, with peaceful views and a true “spirits” moment, before looping back through town on neighborhood streets and returning to Market Street Pizza for the finish.
This is a relaxed, community‑focused event — perfect for runners, walkers, and anyone who loves exploring Illinois’ hidden‑gem towns.
Run from bar → cemetery → bar, enjoy your post‑run drink and snack, and soak in the history, scenery, and stories of Mt. Carroll.
