The Covid-19 global pandemic has impacted everyone in ways no living person has ever experienced. It is impossible at this time to estimate when the forced closures, social distancing or the group assembly restrictions currently being enforced will be relaxed. Without the advent of a vaccine or far more testing capacity than is currently available this summer’s activities are certain to be adversely impacted.

As a result of these limitations and the unknowns that await us the Reagan Run 5K Committee has been weighing the situation. It is after careful consideration that the committee has determined that we can’t in good conscience proceed with a July 4th race this year which could jeopardize the safety of participants, normally from all over the country, and our great group of volunteers. The committee regrets to announce that the 2020 Reagan Run 5K has been cancelled.

The committee hopes to start gearing up in January 2021, once again getting commitments from their generous sponsors and lining up the great group of volunteers to put on one of the finest and most unique road races in Northern Illinois on July 3, 2021. We hope to see you then.
