Back to School Walk/Run

The Back to School Walk/Run is a family-friendly event held at the Scottish Rite Valley in Bloomingdale, Illinois. It features a 5K run/walk, a 10K run, and a Kids Dash for children 12 and under. The Kids Dash covers half a mile, and all participating children receive a free backpack and a finisher's ribbon.
