Oneness Run/Walk 2026

Lace up for a purpose at the 9th annual Oneness Run/Walk on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in the scenic Deer Grove Forest Preserve in Palatine, IL. This beloved event, held at Picnic Grove #2, offers a refreshing "nature fix" with USATF-certified 10K and 5K run courses, along with a 5K walk and a special Oneness Move Kiddie Dash, making it a perfect day for the entire family. The courses are notably fast and flat, winding through picturesque trails, with the 10K comprising two loops of the 5K route. Typical race day conditions in early June boast pleasant highs around 77°F and lows of 58°F, with only a 16% chance of precipitation, creating an ideal environment for your race.

What truly sets the Oneness Run/Walk apart is its profound community spirit and charitable mission. This entirely volunteer-run event dedicates 100% of its proceeds to charity and scholarships, fostering unity among communities and advocating for healthy, active lifestyles. Runners can expect well-supported courses with readily available water stations and a welcoming finish line providing light food, drinks, and even healthy options. Volunteer medical doctors are also on-site in the pavilion area to provide first aid support, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants. With easy accessibility and close-by parking, the Oneness Run/Walk promises a fulfilling and invigorating experience that gives back to the community.
