This is the registration page for Xtra Mile Running's Spring & Fall intro to running sessions. The program is free to all, and there is a registration option to get a t-shirt each session, too. Read on to learn the basics before signing up.
The WHAT: A 10-week training program with the goal of completing a 5k upon completion (Note: The Run for the Roses 5K on 6/7/26 and the Roselle Turkey Trot 5k on 11/26/26 are a separate registration for which our training 5K members will receive a discount).
The HOW: Two days a week running & walking with Coach Diane, and help from our community of enthusiastic volunteers. Tuesdays at 6:15pm, starting 3/24, from Xtra Mile Running and Saturdays at 9am at Volkening Lake. An informational session for the Spring session will be held on Tuesday, 3/17 at 6:15pm at Xtra Mile Running to answer your questions! We’ll start with run/walk and gait analysis while increasing your endurance every week. In order to succeed we first must fail… often!
The WHY: The answer to this questions depends on what drives you. Are you internally or externally motivated? Are you looking to lose inches? Increase energy or fitness? Prove to yourself you can do it? Prove to the doubters that you will follow through? Understanding your motivation and keeping focused on that is just as important as your training. Don't be shy about the why!

Join the D54 Education Foundation in supporting literacy and promoting health and fitness for the young and old by participating in the 21st annual Run to Read. We are currently planning the Run to Read 2025 to be held in person on September 28, starting and ending at Dirksen School in Schaumburg. This event will include a 5K run/walk, a 1-mile walk and children’s races. This year the event will be hosted by the District 54 Education Foundation on Sunday, September 28, 2025 at Dirksen School. The District 54 Education Foundation is committed to supporting students today and preparing students for tomorrow. It does that primarily by providing support to children from financially struggling families.
With this change in host, there is also a change in how the funds will be spent. All funds raised this year will be used to support programs for these families. By meeting the basic needs of students, they are preparing students to be successful at school, thus the name Run to Read still applies.
Not a runner? With a $10 donation, you can sponsor a D54 student whose family cannot afford to participate in this race. For $20, you can sponsor 2 children. For $100 you can sponsor 10. You get the idea.
Click on DONATE to Sponsor a Child or make an online donation. You can also mail a donation to Run to Read, 524 E. Schaumburg Road, Schaumburg, IL 60194. don't forget all donations are tax-deductible.
