Horner Hustle

The Horner Hustle is an annual community-focused event held at Centennial Park in Park Ridge, Illinois, supporting Project Purple's mission to fight pancreatic cancer. Scheduled for August 23, 2025, participants can join a 5K run or a 1-mile walk either in-person or virtually from anywhere. The event honors Mike Horner, a local resident who battled Stage IV pancreatic cancer, and has raised over $150,000 to date.

Runners and walkers receive custom bibs and are encouraged to share their experience on social media. The course fosters a supportive atmosphere, uniting friends, family, and neighbors to make miles matter for early detection and a cure.
