JOURNEYS Run/Walk 2026
JOURNEYS Run/Walk is a community running event held in June 2026 at Deer Grove East, 1599 Peppertree Drive, Palatine, Illinois. The event offers live and virtual options and includes both a 5K distance and a shorter fun run. Dogs are allowed on site when kept on a leash.
Registration for the 5K and the 1K fun run includes a participant t-shirt, a race bib, and sponsor-donated recovery bag items. Entries submitted after June 1, 2026 are not guaranteed a t-shirt. Packet pickup is available on the Friday before the event at the JOURNEYS office, 1140 E Northwest Highway, Palatine, with a scheduled pickup window on that day.
Awards are planned for finishers. An overall finisher medal will be given to all runners. Certificates will be presented to the overall fastest male and female and first through third place finishers in multiple age categories, with an award ceremony held after the races.
Proceeds from the event support JOURNEYS | The Road Home, an agency that assists people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in north and northwest Cook County. The organization serves multiple towns and provides a range of client services to address housing insecurity.
