5K race during Illinois Race Weekend canceled due to pro-Palestine protest escalation.

5K race during Illinois Race Weekend cancelled due to pro-Palestine protest escalation. The event, scheduled for Friday night on the University of Illinois campus, was called off as local law enforcement focused on the protesters, leading to a lack of available police officers to secure the 5K route. Race organizers plan to reschedule the event, while the marathon, half-marathon, 10K, and wheelchair races on Saturday are still set to proceed.
