Cahokia Mounds Museum Society issued the following announcement on June 18.
The annual City of the Sun 5K Trail Run will take place on November 4, 2018.
This is a unique opportunity to run a 5K Trail course on a US National Historic Landmark and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The course begins and ends at the Interpretive Center but traverses some of the cultural and natural areas of the site.
You’ll pass through grassy fields, around mounds, through the wooded areas, and through The Grand Plaza.
Custom sun medals will only be awarded to the top 3 finishers in each category and to the overall winner in women’s and men’s category.
