The Cobden Peach Festival 5K takes place at 217 Locust St in Cobden, Illinois on August 8, 2026, though the actual event distance is 1 mile rather than a traditional 5K. The race starts at 7:30 AM and welcomes both runners and walkers. Entry fees range from $5 to $15, making it an affordable option for athletes looking to compete in a local community event. This summer date means warm conditions typical of southern Illinois in early August, so plan your hydration and pacing accordingly.
