From the Organizer
The Run for C'Ville is the 12th annual community run hosted by the Rotary Club of Carpentersville, formerly known as the RaceWay Woods 5K. This year's race takes place on August 8, 2026, beginning at 8:00AM at Carpenters Park.
Participants can choose between a 5K Run or a 3K Walk, making this event welcoming for runners, walkers, families, and community members of all ages. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone, we will have a staggered start, with runners begging first followed by walkers.
Dogs and strollers are welcome, so bring the whole crew and enjoy a morning of movement and community spirit.
The race is part of Carpentersville's Jamboree Days Weekend, one of the village's most anticipated summer celebrations, filled with music, food, and family activities.
Most importantly, your participation supports a great cause. Proceeds from the event benefit local charities and Rotary community programs, including scholarships for students, winter coats for children, and other initiatives that strengthen our community.
Join us for a fun, energetic morning and help make a meaningful impact in Carpentersville.
Register today and be part of a community tradition!
