Southern Illinois Spring Classic 2021

Short review

On March 27, 2021 KSD of Lawrence County will be hosting its 11th annual Southern Illinois Spring Classic 5K run/walk. The 2021 race will be the 10th year for the Half-Marathon. Due to COVID, we unfortunately we're not able to host our 10th annual Southern Illinois Spring Classic Race. We're hopeful that our 2021 SISC Race will be successful to help the children in Lawrence County. In 2019 the event played host to nearly 115 runners, over 100 volunteers, countless spectators, and raised $20,000 for the youth of Lawrence County.
