Be a Hero Fun Run

September 27 @ 10:30 am - 3:00 pm

Please join us on Saturday, September 27, 2025 for our 5th annual Chicagoland Be A Hero event to raise awareness and contribute to funding MBC research.

We hope our race will highlight the need for RESEARCH and FUNDING for Metastatic Breast Cancer. MBC carries an average life expectancy of 3 years, as there is NO CURE.

This event will be unforgettable for heroes of all ages and their families. We will start our run/walk with a SUPERHERO launch, and then as you propel through the ribbon, you will bring renewal and hope, while taking a quantum leap to find a cure to end Stage IV. No Experience necessary!

Check-in starts at 10:30 am
Fun Run Event Starts at 12 pm

Costumes and creativity are encouraged but not required.
