The Happy Feet Healthy Heart 5K Walk is an annual event presented by the Happy Feet Walkers Club that combines a five kilometer community walk with a forest bathing element. The event is scheduled for August 9, 2026 at Herrick Lake Forest Preserve, Butterfield Road, Wheaton, Illinois.
The in person 5K walk starts and finishes at the East Shelter of Herrick Lake Forest Preserve with the entrance off Butterfield Road. Registration pricing is listed for the 5K individual walk and includes in person and virtual participation options. The listed registration amount for the 5K individual walk is $17.51 for the registration period shown.
Virtual participants are asked to run or walk on August 9, 2026 at a location of their choice. Virtual registration includes race shirt shipping. The event provides guidance for tracking and submitting virtual results, including use of the ASICS Runkeeper app to add the event, record the activity, and post results to the Race Roster results board. Manual result posting from other devices or apps is also supported through the event results system.
The forest bathing component references shinrin yoku and frames the walk as an opportunity to experience the forest atmosphere and encourage connection with local forest preserves. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
