Michael's Run for Life Festival
Michael's Run for Life Festival is a community running and fundraising event held at 505 Jubilee Lane in Germantown Hills, Illinois on July 18, 2026. The festival combines timed and untimed running options with a fundraising focus for research into a rare form of colon cancer.
Event distances and categories include:
- 5K Run
- 1 Mile Fun Run / Walk (untimed)
- Kids' Run (8 years old and under, untimed)
The event supports a foundation that promotes awareness and funding for signet ring cell colon cancer research, a form described in event materials as rare and aggressive and representing a very small percentage of cases. Fundraising activity includes teams and individual fundraisers; event pages list team and individual totals and goals.
Packet pickup is available at a local running store on the two days before the event and at the race site on event day. There is also a general admission concert ticket option listed separately from race entries.
Timing and scoring for the event are provided by a professional race timing company. The festival is presented with support from multiple local organizations and healthcare providers as listed in event materials. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
