JJK 5K Run & Walk During the NASCAR Cup Series Weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway

Don't miss the fun and excitement of the JJK5K Race on May 30 at World Wide Technology Raceway as part of the 2024 NASCAR weekend. This is the second annual event honoring our hometown champion Jackie Joyner-Kersee. She has dedicated her life after Olympic competition to supporting the youth of East St. Louis. Please join us for this incredible opportunity to celebrate her accomplishments, welcome NASCAR back to World Wide Technology Raceway, and enjoy a day of racing!

There are two events to choose from -- the 5K run or 1.25 mile walk around the oval track.  

It will be a unique experience for a great cause!  All activities take place on the same track NASCAR drivers race for the Enjoy Illinois 300.  Race proceeds benefit the JJK Foundation – a vital part of the Metro East community supporting many youth programs.
