Lace up for a meaningful 3.1-mile journey at The Pat Clark Cancer Foundation 5K with Double "J" hosted by Cemeno's, taking place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in Joliet, Illinois. This inspiring event invites runners and walkers of all ages to experience a beautiful course along the scenic Rock Run Greenway Trail, starting and finishing conveniently at Cemeno's, located at 1630 Essington Road. The flat and picturesque trail provides an enjoyable backdrop for your efforts, whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying a refreshing morning outing.

More than just a race, this 5K is a vital fundraiser for the Pat Clark Cancer Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization powered entirely by volunteers. All proceeds directly benefit local cancer patients and their families by providing essential monetary support for necessities like grocery and gas cards, transportation, and funding for crucial medical expenses such as mammograms and co-pays. This year's event also celebrates Double "J"'s 25th year in business, adding a festive atmosphere to the already impactful occasion.

Participants in this community-focused 5K will receive race entry, a commemorative T-shirt, and a well-deserved finisher's medal, making it a rewarding experience for all. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 80°F and lows around 58°F, and only a 20% chance of precipitation, it promises to be pleasant weather for a refreshing run or walk. Join fellow enthusiasts and make every step count towards supporting a crucial local cause.
