Love Smiles Fox Trot 5K : Bedford Park, IL
Love Smiles organizes an annual Fox Trot 5K in Bedford Park, Illinois, to raise funds and comfort for children facing cancer and other serious illnesses. The event supports the Bags of Love program, which delivers books, comfort items, and encouragement to children receiving treatment in hospitals.
The event includes an in-person 5K and a virtual 5K option. Participants receive race-day swag, and the event provides refreshments and awards. Medals are awarded to the Top 3 males and Top 3 females overall, and to the Top 3 males and Top 3 females in each five-year age group.
Since 2020, Love Smiles has partnered with more than 50 hospitals nationwide and delivered over 1,000 Bags of Love to children in need of comfort during treatment. The event description notes a scenic, fast, and flat course for the in-person 5K and presents a community-focused atmosphere that welcomes families, friends, coworkers, and running clubs.
