About the Event

Join us on June 6th in historic Mt. Carroll, Illinois for the Market Street Pizza Spirits Run, a 5K that blends small‑town charm, a touch of gothic atmosphere, and the energy of a summer Farmers Market morning.

The race starts and finishes at Market Street Pizza on Market Street, right in the heart of Mt. Carroll’s beautiful historic district. Runners will head up Market Street past vintage storefronts and the Farmers Market area before climbing to Oak Hill Cemetery overlooking the town.

From there, the course follows a quiet back path along the rear of the cemetery, with peaceful views and a true “spirits” moment, before looping back through town on neighborhood streets and returning to Market Street Pizza for the finish.

This is a relaxed, community‑focused event — perfect for runners, walkers, and anyone who loves exploring Illinois’ hidden‑gem towns.

Run from bar → cemetery → bar, enjoy your post‑run drink and snack, and soak in the history, scenery, and stories of Mt. Carroll.

About Mount Carroll

Mount Carroll is a city in the Illinois Driftless Area and the county seat of Carroll County. Founded around 1841, the community was home to the short-lived Mount Carroll Seminary, which later became Shimer College and is today known for its Victorian homes and large downtown, which is part of the larger Mount Carroll Historic District. Much like Galena and Savannah, nearby towns with strong tourist economies, Mount Carroll embraces its heritage and prominently marks its historic properties.
