From the Organizer
Join us for the 5th Annual ARC Community Fun Walk/Run!
We’re proud to host this neighborhood tradition supporting James Garfield School #31 with all race day profits donated back to the school.
The event kicks off at ARC Fitness and winds through the scenic paths of Garfield Park before finishing right back at the gym on East and Lincoln. Whether you’re walking, jogging, or racing for a personal best, this event is about coming together as a community and moving with purpose.
Alongside the race, enjoy our local Small Business & Maker Market in the ARC Fitness parking lot—celebrating the creativity and spirit of our neighbors.
Each year, ARC Fitness leads a 6-week Run Club designed to teach running basics and help new runners build confidence for their first 5K. This tradition has introduced dozens of beginners to the joy of running, while also welcoming seasoned runners who want a fun, community-driven race experience.
All ages and fitness levels are encouraged to join—everyone belongs at the starting line!
