Michael's Run for Life Festival
Michael's Run for Life Festival is scheduled for July 18, 2026, at 505 Jubilee Lane in Germantown Hills, Illinois. The event combines running with community fundraising and includes timed and untimed distances.
- 5K run
- 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk (untimed)
- Kids' Run (8 years old and under, untimed)
The event supports a foundation focused on awareness and funding for signet ring cell colon cancer research. Background information notes an earlier diagnosis, a period of remission, and a later recurrence; the foundation aims to increase research and promote genetic testing and information sharing for this uncommon form of colon cancer. Signet ring cell adenocarcinomas are described as rare and more aggressive than common adenocarcinomas and represent a very small proportion of cases.
Packet pickup is available at RC Outfitters on Thursday, July 16 and Friday, July 17 from mid-afternoon to early evening, and on race day at the event site from mid-afternoon until shortly before the event. Timing and scoring services are provided by ShaZam Racing. The festival also offers a general admission concert ticket option and includes team and individual fundraising pages as part of its activities.
