About The Event

About the Event: The 5K Run/Walk is designed for the whole family!  The proceeds from this event will benefit the Medal of Honor Host City Program.  The funds raised will be utilized to continue our mission of hosing Medal of Honor Recipients and to help support our Medal of Honor Host City Museum located at North Central College.  Our program seeks to honor the courageous achievements and heroic efforts of our Medal of Honor Recipients who fought to preserve our nation’s freedom and to pay homage to the principles which the Medal of Honor represents…. Duty, Honor, Country.  Through engaging exhibits, educational programs, and community outreach, the museum will inspire future generations to embody the values of courage, sacrifice, and patriotism exemplified by Medal of Honor recipients.  

The event will have a Veterans Village (honoring our Veterans), vendor’s, music, sponsor tables, education and more.
