Converse served as an official water stop for the Peoria Marathon and River City Races for the third consecutive year. Located at the top of the largest hill on the course, Converse is a welcome sight for runners in search of water and encouragement. A large sound system blasted motivational music and employees and their families handed out water and cheered on the runners as they passed. Converse is proud to be a part of Central Illinois’ premier running event.
