Whether you're racing, cheering, or stopping in along the way, this is a day you won’t want to miss.

🎉 What to Expect
  • Teams of 4 racing through downtown Lemont
  • Unique challenges hosted at local businesses
  • A mix of fun, strategy, and just enough chaos
  • Prizes, laughs, and a lively after-race atmosphere

🏃‍♀️ How It Works
Teams will follow a mapped route through downtown, stopping at participating businesses to complete short challenges before moving on to the next location.

Routes are staggered, so no location gets overwhelmed and racers keep moving throughout the event.

​Fastest teams win, but honestly… it’s just as much about the experience.

🏪 Local Businesses Make It Happen
Our local businesses are at the heart of this event.
Each race stop is hosted by a Lemont business, giving participants a chance to step inside, engage, and discover what makes our downtown so special. Many locations also offer exclusive “Racer Specials” after the event.
