Join the flock for a cluck-tastic morning at the Chicken Run 5K, 10K, and Kids Dash in Batavia on Saturday, April 18, 2026.
This unique and lighthearted event offers certified 5K and 10K courses starting at the Peg Bond Center, plus a 1/2-mile Kids Dash complete with chicken hats and goodie bags.
Your participation supports a fun-filled community gathering where you can embrace the fowl theme with optional chicken hats and rubber chicken props for maximum silliness.
All finishers earn a custom chicken-themed medal, celebrating your achievement in a race that prioritizes laughter, community spirit, and a memorable good time.
With early bird pricing and convenient packet pickup at Dick Pond Athletics, the event is well-organized for a stress-free, family-friendly experience.
Secure your spot for a run that proves fitness events can be both challenging and delightfully whimsical, all while enjoying the beautiful Fox River Valley scenery.
Lace up your running shoes (and maybe some feathers) for a morning where the only thing more infectious than the pace is the sense of fun.
Don't be a chicken—register for the most entertaining run in the Tri-Cities area and cross the finish line with a smile and a story to tell!
