Get ready to lace up your running shoes and join us for the inspiring Run For Respect on Sunday, April 6th, 2025, in Minooka, Grundy. This vibrant event is a celebration of inclusivity and the belief that a better world starts with respect for everyone. Participants can choose to compete in an exhilarating in-person 5K, where unique awards will be presented to the top finishers based on age and gender. Every registrant will receive a highly anticipated "RESPECT" shirt featuring this year’s "In My Respect Era" design, along with a stylish finisher’s medal to commemorate the day.

The Run For Respect not only encourages physical activity but also champions the important message of valuing all individuals in our communities, schools, and workplaces.

Be sure to register early, as virtual packets will be sent out on March 28th, and any late sign-ups may not receive their packets in time for race day. Join us in making a difference—together, we can create a world where everyone is treated with respect!
