Whether you’re racing for a personal best or strolling with friends, the Waubonsee Foundation Trail Run is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and connect with the Waubonsee community—all while raising much-needed funds for student scholarships!

Hosted on a mixed-terrain trail on Waubonsee’s beautiful Sugar Grove Campus and the Gilman Trail, the Trail Run is a can’t-miss event for the whole family. All participants will receive a swag bag that includes an event t-shirt, a food truck voucher, and fun giveaways from our generous sponsors. After the race, stick around for treats from Tasty T's, Santiago's Tacos, and Foxy's Ice Cream.

When you participate in the Waubonsee Foundation Trail Run, you’re doing more than logging miles: Every step you take supports scholarships that ease financial barriers and help students stay focused on their education and future goals.
