Localz 50K
Localz 50K is a free, unsupported, self navigated city run that follows a curated route through Peoria's notable locations. Participants download the GPX or use written directions to navigate the course. Because the event is unsupported, runners are expected to carry their own food and beverages, though donations are accepted to help provide hot chocolate, water, and snacks at select points along the route.
The event begins and ends at the Alta Road trailhead and offers a full 50K route as well as a shorter option. There is a checkpoint near Ruppman Plaza at roughly 9.5 miles; runners who miss that checkpoint are redirected to the 18 mile course, so carrying both route files is advised. A map PDF is noted as coming soon and additional logistical details are provided in the runner handbook.
Event organizers may appear along the route with occasional small gifts. Finish recognition includes a yearly patch and a F.A.M. award for the first person to complete the course as mapped and verify the route via a tracking file. Event hats with the Lokalz logo are available for purchase through the event channels and at the gathering location. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
