The Hops for Hope 5K & BrewFest begins and ends at Mount Saint Mary Park in St. Charles, Illinois, featuring beer samples integrated into the run. This is a certified, professionally timed 5K designed for both competitive runners and walkers, utilizing a wave start to organize participants by speed. The event is restricted to individuals aged 21 and over, including the festival area. 5K participants must collect their race packets beforehand with a valid ID. The course follows the river path towards Geneva, passes through Wheeler Park, and returns to Mount Saint Mary Park for the BrewFest. Along the route, Beer Stops offer 3-ounce samples from local craft breweries. The post-race festival includes additional beer samples, live music, food vendors, raffle tickets for the Mountain of Beer, and an Adaptive Bike Giveaway. Attendees can register for both the 5K and BrewFest, opt for a BrewFest-only ticket, or attend as a designated driver.

The Downers Grove, IL Ostomy 5k is a 5k run and walk in Downers Grove, Illinois, held for Ostomy Awareness Day. This is the event's third year and includes both open entry and separate OSTOMATE participant categories, so ostomates are directly included in the race structure, not just part of the crowd. The day is designed for families and 5k participants, with 50-yard Kids Run dashes for ages 5 and under and ages 6 through 10. Dogs and other pets are welcome if they can be outside safely, and organizers provide water and a water bowl for them. Race Time Race Management handles timing, providing a proper race setup for the 5k while remaining open to walkers, kids, pets, and supporters.

Entry fees support Rotary's charitable initiatives, both in the local community and abroad, making the day a combination of a race, a family activity, and a fundraising effort.
