About the Selah's Grace 5K Run/Walk
This is a holiday morning run through Cicero, organized to raise money for a local nonprofit that supports families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss. The cause shapes the atmosphere; people show up with intention. Patriotic attire is part of the tradition, and there is a prize for the best outfit.
The start and finish are in the parking lot of a local church. Check-in opens early in the morning before the race gets underway, so there is time to get situated before the gun. Donations and sponsorships are accepted beyond the entry fee if you want to contribute further to the cause.

The Selah's Grace 5K Run/Walk has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
