About the race
Run for Tomorrow 5K is scheduled for September 13, 2026 at Kaneland Blackberry Creek Elementary School, 1122 S Anderson Road, Elburn, IL. The event is organized in partnership with local fire organizations and is described as the first annual Run for Tomorrow.
The event is a fundraising run benefiting Illinois Firefighter Peer Support. The fundraiser has raised $1,100.27. Participants receive a fire department race shirt; registration by August 31 is required for a guaranteed shirt. After the run there will be music, food trucks, and an opportunity for photos with a fire engine.
Timing uses a disposable chip attached to the back of the race bib. Runners must wear their bibs on the front of their clothing so the chip can be read; the chip should not be bent. Smart watches and phones can interfere with the timing chip frequency, and time disputes based on watches or phones are not accepted.
Packet pick-up is at Elburn Fire Department, Station 1, 200 E. Rt 38, Elburn, IL. Walk-in and race day registration are indicated as available. All finishers receive a medal, and challenge coins are awarded to the top three male and female finishers across age groups from 9 & under through 70 & older. Participant medals are guaranteed for the first 200 runners.
Parking is available in the school's main lot and along side streets. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
