About the 23rd Annual This Run's For Jack 2026
The course runs on paved roads through Glen Ellyn and is accessible for strollers and those with mobility considerations. The race is built around a melanoma awareness cause, and there is a hospitality tent at the finish for people personally touched by the disease, along with food and drinks. A dermatologist is on site for complimentary skin screenings.
Packet pickup opens early on race morning at Ackerman Park, which is also the start. There is no day-before pickup option. Virtual participants in the bike, golf, and run events have their items mailed to them after the event weekend.
