Fallen Soldiers Run/Walk

Each fall, Â鶹Éç Illinois University hosts the Fallen Soldiers 5K to raise money for the Â鶹Éç Fallen Soldiers Scholarship Fund, which supports veterans and service members currently enrolled at Â鶹Éç. Before the race, a special program is held to honor our Fallen Soldiers for whom the scholarship was established and recognize the current scholarship recipients. This race typically brings in 400 - 500 participants to Â鶹Éç's campus.
