    We are looking forward to September 27, 2026! 

    ​Beginning and ending in Downtown DeKalb, the route will take runners through historical neighborhoods, along the Kishwaukee River via Prairie Park, through NIU's campus and Huskie Stadium and ending in Van Buer Plaza with a Post Race Celebration! On Course Entertainment includes the Huskie Marching Band, NIU Jazz Band, and Steelband!

    Our roots run strong and we look forward to gathering for the 46th DeKalb Corn Classic!
