Our Fallen Hero 5K Run/Walk

The Our Fallen Hero 5K Run/Walk in Memory of PFC Aaron Toppen is held annually at Willowview Park in Mokena, Illinois. This USATF-certified 3.1-mile course winds through Mokena’s neighborhoods, including Townline Road, also known as PFC Memorial Drive. The event features a lively atmosphere with a pre-race workout, live DJ, and post-race refreshments from local vendors.

Participants receive a custom wicking T-shirt and goodie bag, with awards for overall and age-group winners. The run supports the USO of Illinois, funding programs for service members and their families. Walkers, pets, and jogging strollers are welcome, but bikes and skates are prohibited for safety.
