Run for Honor

Join us for Run for Honor, a meaningful community event where every step helps honor our nation’s heroes. This timed 5K (3.1 miles) is open to runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, whether you’re chasing a personal best or enjoying a walk with friends and family.

All proceeds benefit the Land of Lincoln Honor Flight, helping local veterans travel to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at the memorials built in their honor. Whether you’re running for fitness, walking for fun, or participating to honor those who served, Run for Honor is about community, remembrance, and moving forward together.
