    Early in 2025, Crystal Lake lost a true champion. Bob Blazier, known colloquially as “Mr. Crystal Lake,” passed away on January 9th at the age of 98. A man of true character and integrity, Bob’s life served as a model of good citizenship and community service. Raue Center is honored to hold the race that bears his name and do our part to keep the spirit of his legacy alive.

    Through the “Blazier Run” we aim to build community, just like Bob. For over six decades he exemplified what it means to put service above self, working tirelessly to improve the educational, healthcare, and business sectors of Crystal Lake.

    HOW IT STARTED

    Twenty-nine years ago, a 5K charity event was born to honor Bob Blazier’s unparalleled community accomplishments. At the time, Bob was working tirelessly with a handful of community organizers to reinvigorate downtown Crystal Lake by renovating, reconstructing, and raising the curtain on a new performing arts center. Recognizing the important future role that Raue Center would play for the community, Bob asked that this new 5K race benefit the historic non-profit theater.

    AN ENDURING LEGACY – SUPPORT THE ARTS
