Back to School 5K Glow Run

The Back to School 5K Glow Run & 1K Walk is a fun, untimed event held annually at Hoffman Park in Cary, Illinois. Organized by the Cary Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association, this fundraiser supports community safety programs and events. Participants enjoy a 3-mile glow-themed run followed by a 1-mile walk along scenic trails in Hoffman Park and the Village of Cary.

The course starts near the disc golf entrance and finishes at the dog park gazebo. Runners receive a race packet with a t-shirt and glow accessories. Parking is available at the dog park lot and nearby streets.

The event welcomes all ages and promotes community engagement in a festive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
