Forte 5K Run/Walk

Forte 5K Run/Walk is scheduled in Channahon, Illinois for October 24, 2026. One distance is listed, a 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 9:00 a.m., open to runners and walkers alike.

Late October is a good moment for a 5K in the Midwest: a summer of training is behind you and the racing feels sharper for it. Runners with a marathon or a half on the calendar can slot this in as a tune-up without disturbing the plan — race it, take an easy day, resume. Anyone starting out should focus on getting comfortable with 30 minutes of continuous movement in the weeks beforehand; whether that is running, walking or a mix of both matters very little. Line up toward the back if you are unsure of your pace.
