Thank you to everyone who joined our 29th Annual Run for the Roses! We are excited that this race was back on the CARA circuit for 2024!
The certified 5k course is USATF measured and approved (Course Certification number is IL11120JW).
The course is flat and fast, and a lot of locals’ favorites! The race is run in an oblong loop on the streets of Roselle. The race starts and ends at Lake Park High School West Campus. There is one water station at the 1.62 mile mark. The course is clearly marked with volunteers directing the way. Following the 5K race, there is a 0.6K Youth Run (1/3 mile)!
Registration for the 5K is $35, and family rates are available. The kids race is $10.
The 2024 Run for the Roses was a great race with beautiful weather! Thank you to everyone who came out. A huge thank you to...
