Get ready to lace up your running shoes and ignite your spirit at the first annual Run for Tomorrow 5K! This isn't just another race; it's a chance to join forces with your community and rally for the heroes who run towards the flames – our incredible Illinois Firefighters!

In honor of Suicide prevention month, Run for Tomorrow is a fundraising event, benefitting the Illinois Firefighter Peer Support group. The volunteers of this organization are the unsung heroes of the firefighter community. They provide crucial mental health resources and provide a lifeline for those who bravely face unimaginable challenges. To learn more information, visit the website https://www.ilffps.org/

Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or a casual walker, please join us. Come experience the thrill of the course, the camaraderie of fellow runners, and the satisfaction of knowing you're making a real difference. Let's show our firefighters some love and help them weather any storm!

General Information:

Race Timing

We use a disposable chip timing tag that runners receive at packet pick up on the back of their race bibs. It is a lightweight-foam backed chip and remains attached to the race bib.
Runners MUST wear their race bibs on the front of their clothing in order to be timed accurately. The bib cannot be covered, holding it in your hand or putting it in your pocket will NOT read the chip. Do not bend the chip. Smart watches such as Garmin and smart phones can interfere with the timing chip frequency. Please do not adjust your watch or phone as you cross the finish line and come through the chute. Disputes for times on Smart watches and smart phones will not be taken into consideration.
