ChiRunners Founders 5K
The ChiRunners Founders 5K is an inaugural community 5K held on August 22, 2026 at Busse Woods Picnic Grove 31 in Elk Grove Village, Cook County, Illinois. The event is hosted by CHI Running Club and brings together members, families, friends, and the local community for a morning in the forest preserve.
Participants may run, walk, or jog along a scenic, paved, and mostly flat route through Busse Woods. The course is described as suitable for a range of paces. This is a community-focused event with an emphasis on connection and shared activity. All finishers will receive a medal.
A relaxed club picnic and community gathering will follow the run at the same grove. Registration opens on June 24, 2026 and closes on August 21, 2026. Registration is free. The event is presented as the club’s first organized race with the aim of establishing a new local tradition. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
