SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2026

The 13th annual Bat Race 5K/10K was held on Saturday, October 24, 2026.

Over 700 runners from all over Chicagoland and beyond joined in the spooky fun!

This event has something for everyone! Many chose to run the 10K, and others ran or walked the 5K course. Our littles also had the chance to join in for the Kids’ Fun Run!

The costumes were fantastic this year! Though it is not required, many let their creative juices flow and came up with some truly fabulous costumes.

What a wonderful way to come together to have fun and raise funds for our community! We hope you’ll join us next year!

Hope to see you at the next Bat Race - October 30, 2027!
