Highwood 5K

The Highwood 5K is a family-friendly run, walk, and stroll event held in Highwood, Illinois, starting and finishing at the corner of Sheridan Road and Clay Avenue. This 5-kilometer race benefits The Josselyn Center, a nonprofit community mental health organization. Participants registered by early July receive a race t-shirt, and those aged 21 and over enjoy an alcoholic beverage at the Taste of Highwood & Highwood Days festival.

The event features age group awards for male and female runners in two categories: 16 & under and 17 & over. The race fosters a supportive atmosphere while promoting community health and wellness. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
