Run with the Nuns 2026
The Run with the Nuns is an athletic event held at the Mount Assisi Center in Lemont, Illinois. The course traverses the natural hills and scenery of the Mount Assisi campus, offering participants an all-terrain experience. The route includes a variety of surfaces, transitioning between asphalt and grass.
The event proceeds support the School Sisters of St. Francis of Christ the King. Participants can choose between the following options:
- 5K Run/Walk: A 3.1-mile course open to both runners and walkers of all ages.
- Virtual Runner: A remote participation option for those unable to attend in person within the United States.
All registered participants receive a long-sleeve performance shirt and a custom race medal. Those participating in the in-person 5K start together, regardless of whether they are running or walking. Awards are presented to the top three finishers in the men's, women's, boy's, and girl's categories.
Packet pick-up and in-person registration are available at Mount Assisi on specific dates leading up to the event and on the morning of the race. Virtual participants complete their distance at a location of their choice and receive their race materials via mail. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
