About the race
Localz 50K is a free, self navigated urban run that follows a curated route through several of Peoria's notable spots. The event is completely unsupported, so participants are expected to carry their own food and beverages. Organizers provide a GPX file and written directions for navigation. Participants should carry both route options because a checkpoint at Ruppman Plaza, around 9.5 miles into the course, can redirect runners to the shorter route if missed.
The event begins and ends at the Alta Road trailhead; participants must return to the trailhead to complete the route. Organizers may be present at times along the course with occasional small gifts. Donations are accepted to support on-course hot chocolate, water, and snacks. Merchandise such as hats with the Lokalz logo is available for purchase through the event website and at the event.
A map PDF is noted as coming soon, and a runner handbook is provided for logistical details. Finisher recognition includes a rotating annual patch and a prize called F.A.M. awarded to the first person to complete the course as mapped, verified by Strava or another tracking map. A social gathering is planned after the run at Last Chance Grill and Saloon. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
