About the Event

Join us on 11/15 for a 5K to remember.

Start time: 9:00 am

We’re coming together to raise funds for Rebecca’s Homestead in memory of Fred Barden, a longtime friend, dedicated volunteer, passionate advocate, and running enthusiast.

Lace up your running shoes and join us as we celebrate Fred’s life, support a cause that meant so much to him, and carry forward his spirit of friendship, service, and giving back.

The race winds through the beautiful Lake Forest community, with its quiet residential streets and picturesque lakefront homes. As the neighborhood wakes up around you, expect peaceful lake views, birds chirping, and glimpses of local wildlife along the way.

Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or cheer from the sidelines, every step supports Rebecca’s Homestead while honoring Fred and the impact he made on the people and causes he cared about.

The course is a two loop course.
