Today, members of the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Work Crew assisted Harlem Township workers with road repairs.

The Corrections Work Crew program provides inmates the opportunity to give back through community service projects while learning the value of teamwork and hard work. This is just one of the many projects the work crew has assisted with throughout the year to help support our local communities.

Thank you to Harlem Township for partnering with us on today’s project.

IRONMAN 70.3 Rockford is coming up on Sunday, June 14th. Be prepared and plan ahead with the list of road closures and traffic impacts.

IRONMAN 70.3 Rockford: This year's IRONMAN race will be held Sunday, June 14!

We received incredible feedback on last year’s event, but we also heard that some residents were not aware of all the road closures and traffic impacts on race day. We want to help everyone plan ahead this year.

A full list of closures and traffic impacts for race weekend can be found at https://www.ironman.com/sites/default/files/2026-05/2026%2070.3%20Rockford%20Traffic%20Impact.pdf.

This link includes:
• Streets impacted throughout Rockford and Winnebago County
• What time each road will close
• What time roads are expected to reopen

Key impacts include:
• Limited downtown Rockford street closures beginning Friday, June 12
• Major race day closures on Sunday, June 14 throughout downtown, the riverfront, north Rockford, Winnebago County, and Rockton

Athletes from around the country will be competing in a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride, and 13.1-mile run throughout our community. Please plan extra travel time, use detour routes when possible, and come cheer on the athletes or volunteer along the course!

Thank you for helping make IRONMAN 70.3 Rockford another great event for our community.
