Run the Planets!

Interplanetary 5K Race + 1 Mile Fitness Walk & 1/2 Mile Kids Fun Run

UPDATE - March 17, 2020

Thank you for supporting the museum with your registration for the Interplanetary 5K. Due to the public health guidelines surrounding COVID-19, we will be postponing this event until the fall. We are working with the park district to find a new date, likely in September, that will work for use of the Riverfront Trail. We will follow up when more solid information is known. Consider following the Peoria Riverfront Museum on social media for great virtual content. Keep running! - Renae Kerrigan
