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 choose between 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 are encouraged to form teams and share their experiences on social media. All proceeds benefit early detection and cure efforts for pancreatic cancer, fostering a spirit of unity and hope. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
