Lace up your running shoes for a great cause at the Walnut 5K Run/Walk to support Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS) research. Scheduled for July 5, 2025, at 8 AM, the event kicks off at Bureau Valley Elementary’s Walnut Campus, with check-in starting at 6:45 AM. The 3.1-mile course features precise chip timing, mile marker clocks, and refreshments for all participants.
This beloved event, part of Walnut’s vibrant Fourth of July festivities, is designed to unite the community in support of a critical cause. Last year, an amazing 728 participants helped set new records, bringing us closer to curing Lou Gehrig’s disease. We aim to surpass that achievement this year. Whether you’re running, walking, or supporting with a t-shirt entry, your involvement is crucial. 100% of proceeds fund ALS research, offering hope to many. Let’s step, stride, and support together! Register now.
Don’t miss the chance to secure your commemorative t-shirt by registering before June 27th for just $20. Register for the race here. Trophies and medals await top finishers across various age groups and categories, including a special division for strollers and wheelchairs. Join us in making strides against ALS! An award ceremony will follow the race, and restroom facilities are available, including showers on-site.
“Let’s celebrate life, honor those we’ve lost, and fight for a future free of ALS. Mark your calendar and register today to be part of this impactful movement. Your support means the world to us and to those battling ALS.”
