Run Today for Tomorrow's 7th annual 5K is back, and as of December of 2025, Run Today for Tomorrow, Inc. is officially a 501c3!!
All proceeds will stay in the community and provide financial assistance to community members in getting the help they need as well as a mental health scholarship for local students in the Mental Health field of study. We are partnered with the Starved Rock Country Community Foundation to make this happen. The goal of Run Today for Tomorrow, Inc. is to bring hope and provide help to those affected by suicide. We're running today because we believe in a Tomorrow where everyone is here to see it☀️
Join us on June 28th for our in-person race or virtually you can run around your neighborhood, on a trail, or on a treadmill, post your results, and help share our message with the world!
Another exciting update for 2026; we will be hosting our very first LaSalle County Wellness Fair! The Wellness Fair is a free, family-friendly event that is all about celebrating health, wellness, and community connection. Please stop on by during or after race time.
