From the Organizer
This is a 5K Run/Walk that starts on the track at Amboy High School. It serpentines past the Elementary School, the old Jr. High School through the Sports Park and concludes in front of the historic train depot. This is a USATF Certified Course. The course itself is relatively flat and allows for fast race times. This is one of three events sponsored by the Amboy Education Foundation. Our singular goal is to provide resources to the Amboy School District to aid teachers and students.
