Run for Tomorrow 5K, Elburn, IL
The Run for Tomorrow 5K is a fundraising 5K held on September 13, 2026, at Kaneland Blackberry Creek Elementary School, 1122 Anderson Road, Elburn, Illinois. The event benefits the Illinois Firefighter Peer Support group and lists $213.65 raised for participating fundraising organizations.
The event is presented by the Elburn Professional Firefighter IAFF local #4749 and the Elburn & Countryside Fire Protection District. Race timing uses a disposable chip timing tag that is attached to the back of the race bib; bibs must be worn on the front of clothing. Smart watches and smartphones can interfere with the timing chip and disputes based on those devices will not be considered.
Packet pick-up is handled at Elburn Fire Department Station 1, and walk-in and race day registration options are noted. All finishers will receive a medal, though participant medals are guaranteed only for the first 200 runners. Challenge coins are awarded to the top three male and female finishers in age groups ranging from 9 and under through 70 and older. Registered participants receive a fire department race shirt; shirts are guaranteed for registrations completed by August 31.
After the race there will be music, food trucks, and opportunities for photos with a fire engine. Parking is available in the school's main lot and along side streets. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
