Cheers to New Year's 5k

The Cheers to New Year's 5k Run/Walk is held annually in Itasca, Illinois, starting and finishing at Church Street Brewing Company. This event features a fast, flat, out-and-back course on paved roads, including a scenic loop around a lake. Participants enjoy a festive atmosphere celebrating the New Year with a timed and scored race experience.

All runners and walkers receive a super soft t-shirt, finisher medal, chip-timed bib, and a pint of locally brewed craft beer at the finish line. The event also includes age group awards, a team cheer contest with prizes, and supports the Fetching Tails Foundation, a local dog rescue charity.
