Biegi 5K w pobliżu Boone

Panting for Paws hosts 5K and 10K runners and walkers at West Florence High School for its annual animal-shelter fundraiser. A virtual 5K is available for those unable to attend in person, and the race proceeds regardless of weather. Finishers earn medals, and virtual participants receive a shirt and medal. The in-person event features music, food, and children's activities, with proceeds benefiting homeless dogs and cats via The Darlington County Humane Society Shelter and The Florence Area Humane Society. Those not participating in the run or walk can assist by volunteering or donating.

Nik's 7K Home Run & 1.5 Mile Walk is a morning run-and-walk fundraiser held at MercyHealth Sportscore Two. The Indoor Sports Center serves as the race site and the location for the post-race gathering. Participants can choose between a 7K run or a 1.5-mile walk. Check-in and registration begin at 8:00 AM, with both distances commencing at 9:00 AM. The funds raised benefit young adults aged 18 to 24 who are battling cancer. Organizers note this age group often lacks support, as pediatric programs typically conclude at 18 and adult programs begin at 25. Nik's Home Run represents the organization's primary annual fundraiser. Registration covers a T-shirt and a swag bag, followed by an indoor afterparty.

The Jaimie Cox Memorial Run begins at Roscoe Middle School in Roscoe, Illinois. In October, participants can choose between a 5K run/walk and a 2-mile walk. The event honors Jaimie Cox and serves as a charity fundraiser, noted by organizers as the Roscoe area’s largest 5K charity event. Starting from the school, the course proceeds west to the historic Stone Bridge Trail. It then turns south, reaches a halfway point, and loops back to Roscoe Middle School. The route features mixed surfaces, including crushed limestone and gravel, offering a different feel than a typical road 5K and resembling more of a community trail run. Registration is available for walkers, runners, children, and virtual participants, broadening the event beyond a standard timed race.

The Haunted Highlander Assault Trail Run is a Halloween-season 5K trail event using timed heats, with starts from early evening through 10:00 p.m. Participants can run, walk, or ruck, so the field is not limited to those chasing a fast road-race time. The trail is part race course and part haunted attraction, with sets, animatronics, and live actors along the route. After the 5K, people stay for a costume contest, bonfire, live entertainment, and food. Spectators pay a $10 fee, children 3 and under watch free, and parking is free.

The Abominable Trail Race takes place at Lake Geneva Ziplines & Adventures, featuring woods, hills, and various distance options suitable for casual walkers and runners seeking a challenging outing. The available race distances are 5K, 10K, 15K, and 30K, with the shorter distances welcoming participants of all skill levels. The 30K Challenge, the longest event, can be completed individually or as a relay by teams of two, three, or four. This is the fourth year for the race, and it offers a clearly marked course, chip timing, complimentary action photos, an Abominable shirt, a finisher medal, and a beverage at the end.

Footsteps for Families to taka impreza rodzinna organizowana przy Harlem High School w rejonie Rockford. Główny punkt to bieg/spacer na 5k i 100-metrowy Kids Fun Run dla dzieciaków. Zasady są proste: dorośli i starsze dzieciaki biorą udział w 5k, młodsze dzieciaki mają swój króciutki bieg, a cała impreza wspiera Safe Families for Children. Impreza zbiera biegaczy, spacerowiczów, rodziny, darczyńców i wolontariuszy – nie tylko tych, co ścigają się na poważnie. Safe Families for Children wykorzystuje tę okazję, żeby opowiedzieć o swojej misji łączenia rodziców ze sprawdzoną siecią wsparcia. Oddział w Rockford powstał w 2009 roku. Na imprezie można też załatwić parę praktycznych spraw: są tam formularze dla wolontariuszy, można uzyskać skierowania dla rodzin, jest tablica z aktualnymi potrzebami i program dopasowywania darowizn.

Ruck it.", każdy jest mile widziany. Możesz gonić życiówkę, cieszyć się fajnym spacerem albo iść z obciążeniem. Wszyscy uczestnicy będą mieli zmierzone czasy, z osobnymi nagrodami dla kategorii bieg/chód i 'ruck'. Zapisz się do terminu, a dostaniesz koszulkę Byron Rocks.
