Fox Chase Run

On Sunday, October 4, 2026, the Fox Chase Run invites participants to experience its scenic routes and vibrant atmosphere. The day features two races: a competitive 5K starting at 9:00 AM and a fun-filled youth mile for kids, kicking off at 10:00 AM.
The event is organized by the Fox River Grove Recreation Council and offers runners of all ages an opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty surrounding Fox River Grove. The 5K course winds through picturesque neighborhoods, offering glimpses of charming homes and lush greenery as participants navigate a mix of paved paths and smooth trails. This race promises not only a challenging run but also a chance for families and friends to come together in friendly competition.
For younger racers, the youth mile provides an introduction to competitive running with a fun-filled event designed specifically for kids aged 8-12 years old. The short distance is perfect for beginners looking to build confidence on the track or trail while enjoying the support of fellow runners and enthusiastic spectators.
Both races are part of the broader Fox Chase Run festival, which includes post-race refreshments, awards ceremonies recognizing top finishers in various age categories, and plenty of activities for participants and their families. The event aims to foster a sense of community among local residents and visitors alike while promoting health and wellness through physical activity.
Join us on October 4th as we celebrate the spirit of running along with our friends at Fox River Grove Recreation Council!
