YOUR GENEROSITY WILL BE SEEN BY THOUSANDS .... And, helps children and families!
One of the largest 5k races in the Chicago area, with 2,200 to 2,500 runners and several hundred volunteers annually.
The race takes place in beautiful downtown Naperville just prior to the St. Patrick’s Day parade.
The race is entirely on the parade route, providing significant visibility and exposure to thousands of parade spectators.
The post-race celebration features green beer, corned beef sandwiches, music and family activities for the participants and volunteers.
Sponsors receive significant exposure on the race’s website. For the last five years, the race website has averaged 81,264 page views and 22,264 sessions from 12,959 new users, with the average session lasting 1:59 minutes.
Proceeds from the race will benefit non-for-profit charities in the Naperville area.
