2026 Run Stephenson County Event Canceled
We are saddened to announce that this year’s Run Stephenson County Event, scheduled for October 17, 2026, has been canceled due to circumstances beyond our control. This cancellation includes the 5K, 10K, and half-marathon.
We know many runners, volunteers, and supporters were looking forward to our fourth annual event, and we share your disappointment. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
Run Stephenson County supports the Family YMCA of Northwest Illinois’s Annual Support Campaign, helping children, families, seniors, and neighbors access YMCA programs and memberships through financial assistance. We remain committed to that mission and are grateful for our community’s continued support.
Thank you to everyone who planned to participate, volunteer, or cheer on our runners.
