Fight Hunger 5K/10K

Fight Hunger 5K/10K is held at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, Illinois, on May 1, 2027. Three formats start together at 8:45 AM: a 10K run, a 5K run/walk and a 1 mile (1.6 km) fun run and walk. No elevation gain is listed. The event brings together participants of all ages in support of communities across northern Illinois, with food vendors, activities and family entertainment on site.

With every distance leaving at the same time, pick your format on the basis of what your training supports rather than what your friends are doing. The 10K asks for a few weeks of steady mileage and one longer run; the 5K suits a first race; the mile is there for kids and anyone walking. Line up by expected pace so the shorter, slower groups are not caught in the 10K field's opening surge.
