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.

Footsteps for Families is a family fun event held at Harlem High School in the Rockford area. It centers on a 5k run/walk and a 100-meter Kids Fun Run. The structure is straightforward: adults and older children participate in the 5k, younger children have their own short race, and the day benefits Safe Families for Children. The event gathers runners, walkers, families, donors, and volunteers, not exclusively competitive runners. Safe Families for Children utilizes it to explain its mission of linking parents with a trained, vetted support network. The Rockford chapter started in 2009. The event also incorporates practical assistance: volunteer applications, agency family referrals, a current-needs board, and a matching donation program are all part of the day.

A family-friendly community race focused on movement, community, and hometown pride. Whether you "Run it. Walk it. Ruck it.", all are welcome. Chase a PR, enjoy a fun walk, or carry weight. All participants will be timed, with separate awards for run/walk and ruck divisions. Register by the deadline for a Byron Rocks t-shirt.

The Rockford Lions Club invites you to the inaugural Hike for Hearing through Rock Cut State Park. This family-friendly event benefits the Center for Sight & Hearing, impacting people with hearing loss.

The course travels through city streets and rural areas, with some hills on asphalt. Finishers for the 5K and 10K will receive medals. The 2 mile walk has no awards. Shirts are guaranteed only for those who preregister by May 19th; there will not be a second order of shirts.
