OFFICIAL RACE GUIDE
www.christieclinic.com A Message from Christie Clinic CEO Kenny Bilger Welcome to the 11th annual Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon Race Weekend. Marathon weekend in Champaign-Urbana is like no other. This weekend showcases the very best of our community. Thousands of volunteers share their time to make marathon weekend special for the many participants who run, walk, jog, and roll their way from 5K to 26.2 miles. As a fellow runner, I greatly appreciate the time and effort spent making this an excep- tional and fun-to-run event. I am extremely proud of our community and the many participants who’ve committed to an active lifestyle. This year, as the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon enters its second decade, Christie Clinic celebrates our 90th year of providing quality health care to central Illinois. This year, we’ve also extended our commitment with the sponsorship of the additional races that make up marathon weekend, including the 5K, 10K, and Mini i-Challenge. As one of central Illinois’s largest and oldest physician-owned practices, Christie Clinic team members live and work in the communities we serve. We run and volunteer alongside you because we know that healthy choices improve lives and improve the health of our communities. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who has played a role in mak- ing the 11th annual Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon Race Weekend a great success! Best of luck on the course and stay well! Kenny Bilger Chief Executive Officer Christie Clinic For more information on Christie Clinic, please visit: www.christieclinic.com. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
