About the Event

Welcome to the Seventh Annual My BFF 5K/8.13K Walk supporting My Best Friends Foundation. This event raises money to support Friends fighting cancer and families who’ve lost someone to it. We walk in honor of Rod Wittig and Sharon Berryhill. Rod would have turned 50 on August 13, 2020. The 8.13K distance is about 5.0 miles...which is a meaningful way to honor his memory. This year's walk will take place on August 8, 2026, at Judson University (1151 N. State St., Elgin, IL). You can walk or run in person or virtually. The event starts at 9:30 AM.
