Run for Tomorrow 5K : Elburn, IL
Run for Tomorrow is a 5K road event held in Elburn, Illinois at Kaneland Blackberry Creek Elementary School, 1122 S Anderson Rd. The event is a fundraiser benefiting Illinois Firefighter Peer Support and is scheduled for September 13, 2026. It is presented by the local firefighter organizations including Elburn Professional Firefighter IAFF local 4749 and the Elburn and Countryside Fire Protection District.
Race timing uses a disposable chip affixed to the back of the race bib. Runners must wear their bibs on the front of their clothing for accurate timing; covered, folded, or pocketed bibs will not read. Smart watches and phones can interfere with the timing chip frequency and will not be accepted as official timing sources.
All finishers receive a medal, with participant medals guaranteed only for the first 200 runners. Challenge coins are awarded to the top three male and female finishers within the published age groups from 9 and under through 70 and older. Race participants are offered a fire department race shirt; registrations received by August 31 are guaranteed a shirt.
Packet pickup is located at Elburn Fire Department Station 1 at 200 E Route 38, Elburn. Parking is available in the school main lot and along nearby streets. The event also features post-race activities including music, food trucks, and a photo opportunity with a fire engine. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
