West Chicago Step Into Spring 5K
Healthy West Chicago presents a community running event at Reed-Keppler Park and the Illinois Prairie Path in West Chicago, Illinois. The event includes two distances:
- 5K Run/Walk
- 1 Mile Youth Run
The 5K is a certified course on the Prairie Path and both races start and finish at Reed-Keppler Park by Zone 250 (250 W National St). Pre-race packet pickup is scheduled at the ARC Center at the West Chicago Park District. The first 75 participants who claim their registration package at pickup will receive a swag bag. Participants who register by March 20, 2027 are guaranteed shirt size availability.
Awards and finish items include a trophy for overall male and overall female in the 5K, custom Fit4Fall 5K medals for 5K finishers, and finisher ribbons for the 1 Mile youth run. All participants with a bib receive a post-race snack. Additional race-day activities include health and wellness vendors, post-race refreshments, race photos, and pre- and post-race stretching and massage provided by Athletico and Novo Health.
Strollers are allowed; dogs are not allowed. Registrations are final with no refunds, cancellations, or transfers. All proceeds support Healthy West Chicago sustainability and community programming. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
