Whether you're a seasoned runner, casual walker, stroller-pusher, or pet lover, this event is for everyone! Enjoy a scenic 5K route along the lakefront and through Fort Sheridan, all while supporting an important cause.
This year’s run benefits Josselyn, a nonprofit community mental health provider offering comprehensive services including therapy, psychiatry, case management, employment support, psychological testing, and an Intensive Outpatient Program for youth. Josselyn ensures access to care regardless of income or insurance, serving people across six locations in northern Cook and Lake Counties.
