23rd Annual This Run's For Jack 2026

Sunday, October 18, 2026Glen Ellyn, ILTRFJ VIRTUAL Run/Walk – 5K

The 23rd Annual 'This Run's for Jack' is a meaningful event dedicated to fighting melanoma with every step. Participants can choose between in-person or virtual options, with the flexibility to compete in multiple activities including running, walking, cycling, or golf. The in-person course is paved and fully accessible, welcoming strollers to join the fun from the back of the pack. A standout feature is the complimentary skin screening provided by a dermatologist on-site, alongside a hospitality tent for those impacted by the disease. All participants receive an SPF50 long-sleeve shirt, and those who compete in three events earn a special Tri-Athlete medal and shirt. Please note that pets, bikes, and roller-blades are not permitted on the course.
