Gather 5K

The Gather 5K & 1.5 Mile Fun Run takes place in Spring Grove, Illinois, hosted by the Place to Gather Community Center. This event features a 5K race and a 1.5-mile fun run/walk, with options for in-person and remote participation. Proceeds support the Swiss Family Robinson Adventure Playground, an inclusive playscape designed for all ages and abilities.

Participants receive an event T-shirt, swag bag, and have access to activities like a kids' 100-yard dash with prizes, a soccer clinic, and food trucks. The race promotes community involvement and fundraising, with every dollar raised matched by a $500,000 grant to help build the playground.
