Congratulations to all of our RCAC runners who took on the 2026 Steamboat Classic this weekend! 💙

Whether you raced, cheered, volunteered, or did a little bit of everything, thank you for helping make another Steamboat Classic such a special day. We're incredibly proud of our RCAC community and the energy, support, and enthusiasm you brought to race weekend.

From chasing PRs and conquering the hills to handing out water, directing runners, and cheering from the sidelines, you helped make one of Peoria's greatest traditions possible. 💙

Take some time to recover, celebrate your accomplishments, and soak in all the memories from an amazing weekend. We'll see you back next week for Run Club at 8:00 AM at RC Outfitters!

This week we’re previewing the Steamboat Classic course!💙🔥 You’ll have two route options:
🏃 3 mile modified route: https://routes.rungoapp.com/route/cdpLShIv9r
🏃‍♀️ Full Steamboat preview route starting from RC (4.75 miles): https://routes.rungoapp.com/route/zTuGd82OAn

Plus, Brooks will be hanging with us on Saturday with demo shoes, giveaways, and maybe even a shoe raffle 👀

🎟️ Run will start at 8am, being led by Shepherds of various pace groups (even walking!). Raffles will be pulled at 9:15am, so no matter which route you choose, make sure you’re back by then! Must be present to win.

After the run, stick around for donuts and a post-run hangout 🍩☕️

One more thing: the Farmers Market is back for the summer, so downtown parking will fill up fast! Try to get here a little early to grab a good spot and secure a pair of demo shoes. 💙🙌🏻

We’re so excited to run with everyone tomorrow! ❤️

Please note: there will be no run club the morning of the Steamboat Classic (June 6th, 2026).
