McHenry Runathon

Join Us for the McHenry Runathon and FUNDrive!

This exciting event challenges participants to run as far as they can within one hour on the high school track. Every lap counts, and your participation will help support our community through the FUNDrive donation event.

Event Highlights:

1-Hour Run Challenge: Push your limits and see how many laps you can complete in one hour. Walk, jog, or run—every step makes a difference! Athletes will run a 0.5 mile course that switches between surfaces of track, grass, and concrete. Volunteers will hand out rubber bands for you to collect after each lap you complete. You can also keep track using your phone, in your head, or simply enjoy an hour-long walk! T-Shirts will be included with registration. 

The funds raised through the McHenry Runathon will directly benefit the McHenry High School Cross Country Team. Your participation and contributions will significantly impact our team by helping cover the costs of uniforms, equipment, travel expenses, and snacks for the athletes during cross country meets. If you would like to further support the cross country program, flat donations are also welcome. Any and all contributions are greatly appreciated!

FUNDrive Donations: In addition to the Runathon, we are using this opportunity to give back and help our community. Bring gently used items such as clothing, shoes, accessories, and household goods to donate to our partnered organization, FUNDrive. These donations will be resold through local thrift stores, helping to fund important community programs and services. Not only is this an opportunity to declutter and give your items a second life, but you also directly support valuable community resources and programs.

Family-Friendly: Open to all ages and fitness levels. Whether you're a serious runner or just in it for fun, everyone is welcome!

Music and Motivation: Enjoy an upbeat atmosphere with music and plenty of encouragement to keep you motivated throughout the hour.

Register Online: Registration will be available online from June 18th to August 3rd. T-shirts will be given to all who register.
