Event Overview
The MyBFF 5K/8.13K is an annual event held at Judson University in Elgin, Illinois. This seventh annual walk supports My Best Friends Foundation, raising funds to assist individuals fighting cancer and families who have lost loved ones to the disease. The event is held in honor of Rod Wittig and Sharon Berryhill.
The event offers two distinct distances for participants:
- 5 km
- 8.13 km (approximately 5.0 miles)
The specific 8.13 km distance was established to commemorate Rod Wittig, referencing his birthday on August 13.
Participation Options
Participants may choose to complete their distance in person at the Judson University campus or participate virtually. For those attending the physical event, registration includes a t-shirt if completed by the specified deadline in July. Virtual participants will have their event shirts mailed to them.
Support and Registration
In addition to the walk and run, the foundation offers other ways to support the cause, including direct donations, purchasing event t-shirts independently of registration, or participating in a raffle. Paid registrations include a commemorative shirt, though availability is not guaranteed for those who register after the mid-July cutoff. In-person participants can collect their shirts on the day of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
