From the Organizer
Join us on June 13th as Spirits Run returns to Ottawa for our second LaSalle County adventure — this time hosted at the legendary Berta’s Tap. Our statewide mission is to complete all 102 Illinois counties, and we’re thrilled to add another LaSalle stamp to the Spirits Run Adventure Book.
This is a relaxed, social 5K where runners and walkers explore a local route, visit a historic cemetery, and celebrate afterward with great people, great drinks, and great vibes.
