MyBFF 5K/8.13K : Seventh Annual Walk for My Best Friends Foundation
The Seventh Annual MyBFF 5K/8.13K is a fundraising walk supporting the My Best Friends Foundation. Proceeds support friends who are fighting cancer and families who have lost someone to cancer. The event includes an in-person option at Judson University, 1151 N. State St., Elgin, IL, and a virtual participation option.
Distances offered:
- 5K
- 8.13K (about 5.0 miles)
Registration fees and deadlines are published in tiers. Early registration is available for a reduced fee through April 30, with a higher early fee through July 20, 2026; registrations after July 20 are at a higher rate. All paid registrations completed before July 20 include a walk t-shirt. Registrations after July 20 may receive shirts if supplies remain. Extra shirts are available for purchase; a virtual participation option includes mailed shirts if the participant registers by July 20.
Additional support options include donations, purchasing an event t-shirt without registering, and buying raffle tickets; raffle winners do not need to be present to win. The event honors the memory of individuals connected to the foundation and uses the 8.13K distance as a meaningful element of that remembrance.
