Area residents are invited to join the 13th Annual Run, Walk & Roll Geneva 5K/1 Mile on Sunday, October 19, at Marklund's Hyde Center.

Set against the scenic backdrop of the South Mill Creek neighborhood, this community favorite is more than just a race it's a vibrant celebration of inclusivity, compassion, and community spirit. After crossing the finish line, participants and spectators can enjoy food, music, and camaraderie at the Party in the Park, held near the iconic Mill Creek red barn.

Designed for all ages and fitness levels, the Run, Walk & Roll is welcoming to seasoned athletes, families, and first-time participants alike. Every participant receives a commemorative medal, with awards presented to top finishers. The event is also proudly inclusive, featuring opportunities for individuals in wheelchairs to join in, often with family members or volunteers assisting. Many Marklund residents take part in the 1 Mile course, making this an especially meaningful community experience.

Since its founding in 2013, the Run, Walk & Roll series has raised more than $1.3 million to support Marklund's mission of making everyday life possible for children and adults with profound developmental disabilities. Volunteers, sponsors, and supporters play a key role in the event's success, and new opportunities are available again this year. Learn more at www.marklund.org/5k.
