Beedles Braving Batten 5k Walk

The Beedles Braving Batten 5k Walk is a 5K walk held in Bourbonnais, Illinois, offering both on-site and virtual participation. The event is held in recognition of International Batten Awareness Day and is structured as a community fundraiser rather than a competitive race. The on-site gathering takes place along Kennedy Drive in Bourbonnais, with virtual participants able to join from any location. Separate registration options are available for adults and children for the 5K walk. The day also features a family fun walk and an ice cream party. All proceeds benefit The Our Promise to Nicholas Foundation's mission. The event welcomes volunteers, sponsors, and participants interested in purchasing additional apparel.
