Elwood Community Days 5k Run & Walk 2026, In Memory Of Our Fallen Heroes

Get ready to lace up and step out for a cause at the Elwood Community Days 5K Run & Walk on September 12! Your entry not only gets your heart pumping but also includes access to the Main Community Days Event and a beer ticket—a sweet combo worth over $10!

Early birds can register until September 11, but you can also rock up on the day from 3 to 5:30 PM by the North West Pavilion, where the race kicks off. Just remember, registration jumps to $40 then, and you might miss out on the race shirt. Aim to cross the finish line within 75 minutes, and hang around afterward to cheer for the top runners receiving awards at 7:30 PM at the Main Pavilion.

Feeling lucky? Grab some raffle tickets for a shot at awesome baskets, drawn at 6:30 PM. And remember, this run isn't just about speed—it's about heart! All proceeds support EMS scholarships and responders in need through the Bradley Veerman Charity Fund. Your participation keeps Bradley's protective spirit alive, helping those who serve us all. Race day, rain or shine, your stride makes a difference!
