Course Map and Description

The course begins on the river path just North of the new pedestrian bridge on the West side of the Mighty Fox River in the heart of historic Downtown Aurora. It heads North roughly one and a half miles before taking a U-turn beneath Indian Trail Rd. where it then heads South again on the West side of the river. After crossing Illinois Ave. participants head East over the river and continue South on the East side. The final turn will be a right to head West towards an exhilarating finish across the new pedestrian bridge crossing the Mighty Fox from East to West with a beautiful view of Downtown Aurora to the South.

Description

All proceeds benefit the Aurora East Educational Foundation and A + Foundation for West Aurora Schools in their support of students of both the East and West Aurora School Districts. This event is sure to be an exciting one, finishing with the final straightaway across the pedestrian bridge in Downtown Aurora.

Registrants will receive a commemorative long sleeve performance shirt. The shirt will feature a design created by an art student from East or West Aurora High school.
