Momence Glad Run

Momence Community Unit School District #1 (CUSD #1) is thrilled to announce its inaugural Glad Run, featuring a 5K and 10K race along with a 5K fun walk, scheduled for Saturday, August 10, 2024. This exciting event aims to promote community health and raise funds to support athletic initiatives within the district.

The Momence CUSD #1 Glad Run will take place along the Kankakee River on River North
Road, starting in front of Momence High School and ending on the all new all-weather track.
This event offers participants of all ages and fitness levels the opportunity to enjoy a morning of
physical activity and camaraderie. Runners can choose between the competitive 5K and 10K
races, while families and casual walkers are encouraged to join the non-competitive 5K fun walk,
making it an inclusive event for the entire community.

Participants can expect a scenic route through the heart of Momence, showcasing the town’s
beauty and providing a memorable race experience. The event will feature professional timing
for the 5K and 10K races, ensuring accurate results for competitive runners. Additionally, all
participants will receive a commemorative race t-shirt and other goodies to celebrate their
achievement.

Registration for the Glad Run is now open, with early bird discounts available until July 22,
2024. Proceeds from the event will directly benefit athletic programs and initiatives within
Momence CUSD #1, supporting students and enhancing learning opportunities across the
district.
