The Run for C'Ville is the 12th annual community run hosted by the Rotary Club of Carpentersville, formerly known as the RaceWay Woods 5K. This year's race takes place on August 8, 2026, beginning at 8:00AM at Carpenters Park.

Participants can choose between a 5K Run or a 3K Walk, making this event welcoming for runners, walkers, families, and community members of all ages. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone, we will have a staggered start, with runners begging first followed by walkers.

Dogs and strollers are welcome, so bring the whole crew and enjoy a morning of movement and community spirit.

The race is part of Carpentersville's Jamboree Days Weekend, one of the village's most anticipated summer celebrations, filled with music, food, and family activities.

Most importantly, your participation supports a great cause. Proceeds from the event benefit local charities and Rotary community programs, including scholarships for students, winter coats for children, and other initiatives that strengthen our community.

Join us for a fun, energetic morning and help make a meaningful impact in Carpentersville.

    XC Challenge

    Sunday, November 8, 2026

    The 2026 Dick Pond Athletics Darn Tough Trail Series has endured the early spring chill at Chauncy’s 4 At The Farm in April, overcome the challenging hills of Hickory Knolls in June and powered through the single-track trails in the heat at the Summer Trail Classic in August.

    It is now time to finish the year with an autumnal romp through the woods - and the creek! - at the 8th ANNUAL BIG TIMBER XC CHALLENGE!

    You can choose to participate in either the 3-mile Run & Walk (one loop of the course) or the 5-mile Run (two loops). The course consists of grass, gravel, dirt, possibly some mud, and, of course, the beloved creek crossing around and through a natural wooded area. All registered participants receive a shirt and pancake breakfast.

    There is also a Kids Fun Run, allowing youngsters 10 years and younger to join in the fun. The Kids Fun Run is on grass and does NOT cross the creek.

    This event is sponsored by Dick Pond Athletics, Saucony and Pollyanna Brewing. Proceeds from this event will support the Boy Scouts of America Three Fires Council and the Boys & Girls Club of Elgin.

    Date: Sunday, November 8, 2026 (rain/snow or shine, warm or cold)

    Location: Camp Big Timber (CBT), Big Timber Rd at Tyrrell Rd, Elgin (approximately 1 mile south of I-90 and 0.5 miles west of Randall Road)

    Parking: Parking at Camp Big Timber (CBT) is limited. CARPOOLING with others is encouraged.

    Distances: Approximately 3 and 5 Miles
