About the race
This memorial event on 08/22/2026 in Genoa, Illinois is a community 5K run and sunset tribute held at CrossWind Community Church, 13100 Cherry Rd, Genoa, IL 60135. The distance is 5K (3.1 miles) and the course leaves the church, runs through the nearby neighborhood passing the honoree's home, follows the local bus route, and returns to the church. The event is described as a sunset run with purple as the featured color.
The event supports a scholarship fund and related activities important to the honoree, and also aims to help families affected by sudden and tragic losses. A nonprofit called Alana’s Wings of Hope is associated with those memorial efforts.
