The Kroc Center Bubble Fun 5K Run/Walk
The event is the 4th Annual Kroc Bubble Fun 5K, presented by Nutrition HQ, held on September 12, 2026 at The Salvation Army Kroc Center, 405 Vermont Street, Quincy, IL. The course begins and finishes at the Kroc Center and continues through downtown Quincy. Participants walk or run through foam and bubbles along the route. The bubble solution is described as hypoallergenic.
All proceeds support the Kroc Center’s youth recreational and fitness programs. The day includes post-race activities celebrating 15 years of community at the Kroc Center, with bounce houses, food, carnival games and other family-oriented offerings.
Packet pick up is available at the Kroc Center on the Friday and Saturday before the race. Parking is available on 5th Street, in the city lot across from the Kroc Center and at the Adams County Health Department lot. Most streets on the route will be blocked but some portions are not fully closed to traffic; volunteers will be on the course and participants should check surroundings before crossing intersections.
The event is scheduled to run rain or shine. The organizer notes bubble stations along the route and a social tag for photos as #KROCbubble5K. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
