More than 72,580 people in DuPage County don’t know where their next meal is coming from. You can make a difference for these local families.
Please join us in this chip-timed, family-friendly 5K Walk/Run; 2K walk or 500m Kids' Dash to feed our hungry neighbors!
Since 1999, Neighborhood Food Pantries has provided food security to our neighbors in need. Funds raised from this 5K event will be used to help us reach our 2022 goal to provide over 2 million meals!
We are offering a 5K chip-timed walk/run (eligible for time awards – overall and by age group), as well as a 2K family walk and a 500m Kids' Dash.
All participants (virtual or in-person) will receive the same event t-shirt, finisher medal and other items, but ONLY IN-PERSON PARTICIPANTS are eligible for time awards.
We will continue to offer a virtual event for those who cannot make the August 6th date, or who prefer to participate in a smaller group or alternate location. This event is similar to our in-person event, but participants will complete their walk/run anywhere they choose – in your neighborhood, at a local park, or on your treadmill! All virtual participants will receive the race t-shirt and finisher medal, but will not be eligible for time awards. (Note: T-shirts and race packet must be picked up at Dick Pond Athletics in Carol Stream or at Mallard Lake before the event – no packets will be mailed).
NOTE: No Shopping Carts will be harmed during this event. Shopping Carts are for display purposes only and not allowed on the course!
