Better Than Yesterday 5K

About the Event

Limitless Momentum is proud to announce our 2nd Annual Better Than Yesterday 5K on Sunday, September 20th at Wilder Park in Aurora, IL (350 N. River St). The Better Than Yesterday 5K is about progress, not perfection. This is a run/walk, so all "walks of life" are welcome. This will be a chipped race.

Whether you’re chasing a personal record or simply showing up for yourself, this event is a reminder that every step forward matters. 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, a local, veteran-focused nonprofit that helps former service members build purpose and skills through hands-on craftsmanship training and workshop programs.

CHECK-IN BEGINS - 7:30 AM

This race will take place RAIN OR SHINE. Unless there is severe weather that makes it unsafe to be outdoors, we’ll move forward as planned. Updates will be communicated accordingly should inclement weather occur.

Children 6 and under are welcome to attend for FREE with a registered adult (no bib, timing, or swag included for child). Please ensure all children are supervised at all times and remain in the designated walk areas so runners have a clear course.

All registrations are FINAL and NON-REFUNDABLE. Please review event details carefully and ensure your availability prior to registering. All proceeds benefit A Call To Shoulders. If you later find you are unable to attend, your registration will be treated as a charitable donation. If you find you are unable to attend, we will NOT be shipping out race day tees or swag bags.

About Aurora

Learn more about the host city, Aurora.

Aurora is the second-largest city in the U.S. state of Illinois, located about 35 miles west of Chicago. It's at the very edge of Chicagoland and, situated on the Fox River, has many opportunities for urban, suburban, and rural recreation. Often overlooked, Aurora in fact has many surprisingly interesting attractions and a downtown unlike that of a typical suburb. It is probably best known for being the setting of the "Wayne's World" movies.
