We are very pleased to announce that Champaign County CASA has been selected as a Charity Running Partner for the Christie Clinic 2026 Illinois Race Weekend! This community-wide event brings out runners of all ages and levels to enjoy an exciting series of races throughout the streets of Champaign-Urbana. There are several ways to participate!
