Parkie's 5k
Join the Bolingbrook Park District by participating in Parkie's Famous 5K/10k. Parkie's has been running for over 15 years and has grown to be one of the most popular events in the area. The race starts and finishes in front of the Bolingbrook Recreation and Aquatic Complex. The USATF certified course (IL-15015-JW) winds through subdivisions and park property on paved streets. Course monitors, split timers, and water stations will be provided. Strollers and walkers are welcome at Parkie's 5k/10k. Strollers pose a special risk and for the safety of all participants, strollers must start at the back of the field. Strollers and walkers will start at a delayed time from runners. Pets, bicycles, in-line skates, and other wheeled vehicles (except wheelchairs) are not allowed. Packet pick up is August 24, 2018 from 3-7 pm at the Bolingbrook Recreation and Aquatic Complex (BRAC) at 200 S. Lindsey Lane, Bolingbrook, IL 60440). We will also have pick up available beginning at 6:30 am on race day at the race site at the Bolingbrook Recreation and Aquatic Complex (200 S. Lindsey Lane, Bolingbrook, IL 60440). New for 2018! After the race, join us for Parkie's post-race "Porking Lot" Party sponsored by Famous Dave's BBQ, included with your entry fee! Every 5k and 10k runner will receive one sandwich and two sides. Kids Dash runners will receive a kids slider and one side.
Parkie's 10k
Parkie's 10k starts and finishes in front of the Bolingbrook Recreation and Aquatic Complex, fifteen minutes ahead of Parkie's 5k. The two races share the first two miles and then the Parkie's 10k USATF certified course (IL-16089-NM) winds through subdivisions and park property on paved streets. Course monitors, split timers, and water stations will be provided. Strollers and walkers are welcome at Parkie's 10k. We ask that walkers, slower runners, and strollers remain to the right side of the road to allow the 5k runners to pass. Strollers pose a special risk and for the safety of all participants, strollers must start at the back of the field. Pets, bicycles, in-line skates, and other wheeled vehicles (except wheelchairs) are not allowed. Packet pick up is August 24, 2018 from 3-7 pm at the Bolingbrook Recreation and Aquatic Complex (BRAC) at 200 S. Lindsey Lane, Bolingbrook, IL 60440).
