2027 Naperville Women's Half Marathon and 5K

The Naperville Women’s Half Marathon and 5K begins at North Central College each April, offering participants a choice between a 13.1-mile half marathon or a 5K. This spring road race is designed for women, emphasizing fitness, community, and a course suitable for both competitive runners and those preferring a more relaxed pace. Both the half marathon and 5K courses traverse downtown Naperville and its historic areas, featuring flat, fast, USATF-certified roads. The race concludes on the track within Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium, providing a stadium finish after the urban streets, accompanied by spectator encouragement throughout the route.
