For over three decades, the Highland Lions Club has hosted a Biathlon and 5 mile run. Please note that we have added a second biathlon this year: a 3 mile run and 12 mile bike ride.

We would like to acknowledge and thank Glik’s – our lead sponsor for this year’s event, and we are thrilled to have a local charity, Leaps of Love, as a race partner in 2022. In support of Leaps of Love’s efforts to assist families affected by childhood brain cancer, a portion of this year’s proceeds will be directed to this wonderful organization.

Additional proceeds will be used to support our Lions Club’s overall mission of providing financial assistance to youth and adults in need of eyeglasses and hearing aids, to provide funding for Camp Lions – a camp for visually and hearing impaired youth, screenings for diabetic retinopathy, and a myriad of projects to support the citizens of the greater Highland community.

The Highland Lions Club is the Highland, Illinois chapter of Lions Club International, a community service organization.
