Lace up for a cause at the HOH5K Run/Walk/Roll, a cherished community event returning to Northbrook, IL, on Saturday, May 2, 2026. This inspiring 3.1-mile (5K) race offers a fantastic opportunity for runners, walkers, and rollers of all abilities to hit the streets, starting and finishing at Northbrook Jr. High School. The course is generally flat, providing a pleasant experience as you move through the heart of Northbrook alongside fellow participants. Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable highs around 63°F and lows around 43°F, with only a 19% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a memorable morning.

What truly sets the HOH5K apart is its profound impact beyond the finish line. This event serves as the sole fundraiser for the D28 Homer O. Harvey Scholarship Fund, an initiative established in 1989 that has already awarded scholarships to over 400 deserving high school students who are graduates of District 28. Your participation directly contributes to continuing this legacy of educational support. The race is chip-timed, ensuring accurate results as you cross the finish line. For the youngest members of your family, a Kids Fun Run for ages 6 and under kicks off at 9:00 a.m., making it a family-friendly affair where strollers are welcome on the main course (though bikes and rollerblades are not). Join the Northbrook District 28 PTO Council and a dedicated team of volunteers for a day of fitness, community spirit, and meaningful philanthropy.
