Steps Toward Change 5K

On Saturday, October 17, 2026, the community of Chicago will come together to make a positive impact through the Steps Toward Change A Violence & Bullying Prevention 5K Run/Walk at Jackson Park. This event is more than just a race; it's an opportunity for individuals and families alike to contribute towards creating a safer environment free from violence and bullying.
Participants can expect scenic routes that wind through the lush greenery of Jackson Park, offering beautiful views along the way. The 5K course presents a mix of flat terrain with gentle inclines, making it accessible yet challenging enough for runners and walkers at all levels. Families are encouraged to join in, as this event promotes unity and awareness.
The race begins promptly at 10:00 AM from Jackson Park's central location, providing an ideal starting point that is easily reachable by public transportation or car. The day will be filled with activities designed not only for competition but also for community engagement and education on the importance of preventing violence and bullying in our society.

As part of your registration fee, participants will receive an official race t-shirt and access to various resources aimed at fostering positive change within communities. This year's Steps Toward Change event promises to be both inspiring and impactful for all who participate.
