From the Organizer
We’re thrilled to invite you to join us for the CVS Alumna Association, Inc. 2026 5K Torch Trail on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 2:00pm! Whether you love walking, running, or cycling.
The registration fee is just $45 per person, which includes a stylish 5K T-shirt, a shiny medal to celebrate your achievement, a bib, and a fun goodie bag. Snacks and refreshments will be available to keep everyone energized. If you’d like us to mail your packet, please note there's a small $10.00 fee for shipping and handling.
All proceeds will go directly to support the athletic department at Chicago Vocational H.S. Go Cavaliers! Feel free to participate virtually if that suits you best. The scenic 5K figure-eight loop will take you around the Chicago Vocational H.S. campus at 2100 E. 87th St., Chicago, IL, and Jesse Owens Park at 8800 S. Clyde Ave., Chicago, IL, in the beautiful nearby park area. We recommend bringing a folding chair so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy some well-deserved downtime.
Not into walking, running, or cycling? No worries! You’re more than welcome to cheer on your friends or join us for lively Zumba sessions right on the campus. Plus, we’ll have a friendly professional masseuse on hand to help everyone unwind and enjoy the day.
