The Willard PTO is excited to once again host its annual 5K fun run! This event is open to runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. Join us for some friendly competition or just a leisurely stroll to start the day!

Race Details

5K - The 5k features a 2-loop course, beginning and ending near the Willard playground on Franklin Street; the race begins at 8:30am
Kids Run - Before the main event, our youngest runners (1st grade and younger) can try our Mini Loop, a 1/4ish mile loop around Constitution Park (see map)

Registration Information

The cost of registration is $20/person (plus site fees) and includes a race bib, t-shirt, and finishers medal.

Registration for the 5k includes the kids mini-loop registration. You do not need to separately register for each event - just show up to one or both! If you do not wish to receive a race shirt, please select "No Shirt" when selecting your t-shirt size. The t-shirt portion of your entry fee will be donated to the PTO; the perfect option if you don’t want another race t-shirt in your closet!

Three Run Two was born in Logan Square, Chicago, out of a passion for self-improvement, community, and cultural awareness. Founded on the belief that running is about much more than miles, the crew celebrates diversity and brings together everyone from first-time runners to ultra-marathoners. There's no pace hierarchy here, just genuine people who show up Tuesday and Thursday nights in Logan Square to run, connect, and belong. The crew is organic and relatable, a true reflection of Chicago in all its variety. Whether you're chasing a personal record or breaking bread with neighbors, Three Run Two proves that running is the vehicle for something bigger than the distance itself.
