Plainfield American Legion 5K Charity Run
The event on June 13, 2026 at the Plainfield American Legion includes a variety of activities to raise funds for a fallen Marine veteran's widow and newborn child. The program features a 5K run/walk, a 5K ruck, and a 50 meter kids dash. A "Bike Coral" will line the start and finish area as a motorcycle fundraiser, and a mechanical bull riding contest will collect additional contributions. Portions of registration fees will go to the family, while some activities and donations are designated to provide 100 percent of proceeds to the family.
The course is an out-and-back route beginning and ending at the Plainfield American Legion. The route follows River Rd, then east on W Easy Street, north on Leawood Dr, east on Brittany St, north on Renwick Park Dr, and east onto the Fort Beggs Bike Trail to a turnaround just past W Fraser Rd.
Post-race activities at the Plainfield American Legion include food trucks, two full service bars, a live band, raffles, and vendors. Packet pick up is at the Plainfield American Legion. Professional chip timing will be provided by J3 Timing. Awards include overall and age category recognition pins, and the first 200 participants will receive finisher medals. Parking is available at Plainfield Park District grounds (24550 West Renwick Road) and at Mather Woods (25032 West Renwick Road); carpooling is suggested.
