Sunday June 5 is the 5th anniversary of Run Galesburg Run, a fact that will be reflected on the medals handed out to race participants.

But as organizer Dave Dunn explains, the big news is that it’s a “brand new race.”

“It starts out kind of in front of the Orpheum Theatre on Kellogg, heads south, loops around Knox College and ends up back north,” he says. “Goes down Broad Street and Lincoln Park Drive and into Lincoln Shire and back through Hawhthorne Center. So it’s a prety nice route with a lot of shade and a lot of beautiful homes being displayed.”

Dunn says because the race has so many intersections to cover, more volunteers are needed.

“So at last count, I believe we had 353 volunteers that we’re ordering shirts for,” he says. “That’s up from around 200 in previous years. So it’s a pretty significant organization feat to pull that off.”

He expects between 800 and 1,000 people to participate in the race. Run Galesburg Run starts at 7 a.m. June 5. Registration in the half marathon is $75, the 5K is $37 and the one mile fun run is $30.
