The Chatham Sweetcorn Festival 5K is a community running event held in Chatham, Illinois, starting and finishing at Chatham Community Park. Scheduled for July 19, 2025, this 5K run kicks off the day’s festival activities, offering participants a chance to energize and work up an appetite. Runners receive finisher medals, and awards are given to the top two male and female finishers across four age groups: 13 & under, 14-19, 20-35, and 36 & up.

Shirts are available while supplies last, with early registration guaranteeing official race swag. The event supports local community initiatives through the Chatham Jaycees, who organize the festival and related charitable programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
