Limitless Momentum is proud to announce our 2ND ANNUAL BETTER THAN YESTERDAY 5K on Saturday, November 7th at WILDER PARK in Aurora, IL (350 N. RIVER ST).

This event is rooted in resilience, overall well-being and the belief that becoming better than yesterday is worth the effort. All proceeds from the BETTER THAN YESTERDAY 5K will be donated to A CALL TO SHOULDERS [https://www.acalltoshoulders.com/], a local, veteran-focused nonprofit that helps former service members build purpose and skills through hands-on craftsmanship training and workshop programs.
