Please join us on Sunday, September 20, 2026 for our 6th annual Chicagoland Be A Hero event to raise awareness and contribute to funding MBC research.

We hope our race will highlight the need for RESEARCH and FUNDING for Metastatic Breast Cancer. MBC carries an average life expectancy of 3 years, as there is NO CURE.

This event will be unforgettable for heroes of all ages and their families. We will start our run/walk with a SUPERHERO launch, and then as you propel through the ribbon, you will bring renewal and hope, while taking a quantum leap to find a cure to end Stage IV. No Experience necessary!

Become our hero!

Together we can make a difference!

Be a part of making this disease treatable!

Join us at this family event to raise money to find a cure for MBC.

There are several ways to get involved:

1. Register to participate in the race! You have the option to participate individually, create a team, or join an existing team

2. Help us fundraise by sharing your unique fundraising page created by Race Roster with family and friends

3. Unable to participate? Donate to support MBC research.

4. Become a Sponsor

Come out and join us for our 28th Annual Harvest 5k-10k run/walk & Kids Miler. As the oldest race in the Plainfield, this event has averaged around 800 to 900 people each year and has been put on by the Plainfield Shorewood Area Chamber of Commerce. Prior to the race, be sure to visit our vendors and sponsors who will be throughout the park.

Proceeds from the race each year are donated back out in the Plainfield and surrounding communities to non-profits and other organizations. In the history of the race, the chamber has been able to donate over $400,000.00 back to the community. Each year a Give Back Luncheon takes place in November where this happens. Thank you for being a part of something great!

This is a great family event, whether you are supporting a runner, being a sponsor, or running/walking we hope to see you there!
