Event summary

Get ready for an exciting day of fun and philanthropy at Nik's 7K Home Run and 1.5 Mile Walk on Saturday, October 10th, 2026, at MercyHealth Sportscore Two in Loves Park, Winnebago! This year marks a special celebration of 15 years and 500 wishes granted, making it a significant milestone for everyone involved. Participants can choose between the energetic 7K run or the more leisurely 1.5-mile walk, both of which aim to bring joy to young adults and their families battling cancer.

Join us as we come together to bridge the gap in support for young adults aged 18-24, who often find themselves without adequate resources. The event kicks off with check-in and registration starting at 8:00 AM, followed by the run and walk at 9:00 AM. Don’t miss out on the fun indoor afterparty and the exciting Grammy's Auction, which adds a festive touch to this impactful day. By participating, you'll not only get a stylish T-shirt and a swag bag but also contribute to a meaningful cause that makes a real difference in the lives of those facing cancer. Be part of this uplifting event and help us continue granting wishes!

Organiser's description

CELEBRATE 15 years and 500 WISHES with our 7k run or 1.5 mile walk! Join us at MERCYHEALTH SPORTSCORE TWO (INDOOR SPORTS CENTER) for this year's race followed by a fun indoor afterparty and Grammy's Auction!

Bring JOY to young adults, and their families, fighting cancer. Most pediatric support programs age out at 18 and adult programs start at 25 leaving a gap for young adults. Our mission is to bridge that gap and deliver joy to young adults aged 18-24 battling cancer!
