Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the 5th Annual Memorial 5K Run/Walk happening on Sunday, May 24, 2026, in the beautiful Barrington, Lake. This uplifting event is not just about the race; it's a heartfelt tribute to honor the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Kicking off at 8:00 AM, the day will begin with a touching Ceremony of Remembrance led by our local veterans and active-duty service members, setting a reflective and inspiring tone for the race ahead.

Participants will enjoy a professionally chip-timed 5K course, expertly certified by U.S. Track and Field, winding through the scenic Lake Barrington Shores community. All registered runners and walkers will receive a race tech shirt and a stunning finishers medal to commemorate their achievement. Plus, your registration helps support the valuable work of the Memorial 5K Foundation, benefiting both the Veterans of Lake Barrington Shores and the Tunnel 2 Towers Foundation. Join us at the starting line at Market Place Shopping Center, located at the corner of Kelsey Road and Route 59, and be part of a day filled with purpose, community, and celebration!
