Nik's Home Run 7K

Nik's Home Run 7K takes place on Saturday, October 10, 2026 at MercyHealth Sportscore Two (Indoor Sports Center) in Loves Park, Illinois. The event marks 15 years and 500 granted wishes and functions as a fundraiser to support young adults aged 18 to 24 who are living with cancer. Organizers describe a gap between pediatric programs that typically end at 18 and adult programs that often begin at 25; the event helps provide programs and experiences for that age group.

Distances and formats include:

• 7K run
• 7K Cancer Survivor category
• 7K Running Club members
• 1.5 Mile walk
• Youth run/walk
• Virtual 5K

Registration opens May 5, 2026 and closing dates vary by category. Registration fees vary by category from free for the youth category to standard fees for other categories; examples in the listed categories include $30 for the 7K run, $25 for some 7K categories, $20 for the walk, and $35 for the virtual 5K. Virtual race packages will be shipped the week of October 16, 2026. Participant registration includes a T-shirt and a swag bag. The on-site program includes an indoor afterparty and Grammy's Auction following the run and walk.
