Run the MainStreet Libertyville Twilight Shuffle 5K

The 14th Annual MainStreet Libertyville Twilight Shuffle 5K Run will be at 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 5.

The Twilight Shuffle is one of MainStreet Libertyville's top fundraisers and an evening of fun for the entire family. The race offers professional chip-timing and a course that winds through the historic downtown neighborhoods lined with spectators.

Registration is $40 for adults and $30 for ages 9-17. Register online at www.twilightshuffle.com. The last opportunity for racers to register will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 4 at the packet pickup location, 847 Running Company, 406 N. Milwaukee, Libertyville.

There will be no walk-up registrations at the race, so register in advance.

The Twilight Shuffle is a family event for racers ages 9 and older, with several award categories for participants younger than 18. The race offers technical T-shirts, custom race bibs, chip-timing and awards for top finishers in each race group. Race photos will be available to download for free.

Family participation is encouraged, with several unique award categories. The Fit Family award is given to the family that registers the most participants. The Fast Family award is given to the family of three or more (one member must be younger than 17) with the fastest average time.

Winning families will receive an award and have their name engraved on a plaque on display in the MainStreet Libertyville office.
