Christie Clinic Illinois 5K rescheduled for June
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — The Christie Clinic Illinois 5K has announced a rescheduled date.
The race will take place on Friday June 7 at 7 p.m. It was postponed after law enforcement were called to a pro-Palestine protest at University of Illinois’ campus.
For the rescheduled race, it will feature a new route to start on Oak Street and end on Kirby Avenue right outside of Memorial Stadium. Race organizers have also planned a post-race party with food, drinks, live music and a beer garden.

Organizers said athletes who want to run but weren’t previously registered for the rescheduled race may open up a select number of spots for the rescheduled event.
