Quack, quack! We are back!
Join us for our third annual Ducky Dash 5K! This fun-filled, rubber ducky-themed event features a 4-loop course around the scenic Herrick Lake and supports the neurofibromatosis (NF) community. We would love for you to participate! Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, every bit of support matters.
Dress up in your best ducky costume for a chance to win the best costume award—let’s get creative!
Did you know that neurofibromatosis affects one in every 2,500 births? It’s one of the most common rare genetic disorders, yet many people are still unaware of it. The NF Network is dedicated to helping families and raising awareness about this condition. Your support is crucial in ensuring this important work continues.
So come out, have some fun, and be part of something special! We can’t wait to see you there! 🦆💛

Happy Feet Healthy Heart 5K Walk
Annual Forest Bathing
Sunday, August 30, 2026
Presented By:
Happy Feet Walkers Club
What exactly is Forest Bathing? The term emerged in Japan as a physiological and psychological exercise called shinrin-yoku which means "forest bathing" or "taking in the forest atmosphere". The purpose is twofold: to offer an eco-antidote to tech-boom burnout and to inspire the community to reconnect with and protect local forest preserves. We are fortunate to have so many forest preserves in the Chicagoland area. Let's take part in the first Forest Bathing event organized by HFWC along with our annual 5K.
