My Reason to Run 5K and 10K
The My Reason to Run event is an annual fundraiser held in Effingham, Illinois. Now in its third year, this athletic gathering aims to support individuals in the local community who require assistance with stroke recovery. All funds raised through the event are donated to help provide access to physical therapy, medical devices, and other vital recovery resources that may be difficult to obtain due to insurance barriers or high costs.
The event features multiple distances to accommodate different participants:
- 10K (6.2 Miles)
- 5K (3.1 Miles)
- 1.5 Mile Walk
The race originates from a personal mission to provide support and hope for those facing long-term recovery after a medical event. Participants gather at 304 E Roadway Ave to help provide financial aid for those in need of rehabilitation services. In addition to the active categories, there is an option for individuals to support the cause by purchasing an event shirt. Registration for the distances remains open until the morning of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
