Heart & Sole 5K Run/Walk
2025
Heart & Sole Race Day DetailsCheck-In / Packet PickupThursday, October 30 | 3:00–3:30 PM | In front of Sacred Heart School
Please plan to pick up on Thursday if possible!
Race-day pickup should be the exception, as we will not have volunteers available that morning. If you absolutely cannot make it Thursday, please email Justine Hourihane ([email protected]) to arrange for an alternate time.
ParkingPlease park legally and be considerate of our neighbors. Street parking is very limited near the trail entrance.
We were just informed by Divine Mercy Parish that there is a funeral scheduled for 10:00 AM on Saturday at the church. Attendance is expected to be small (around 40 people), but out of respect, race participants are asked to park closer to the start of the trail rather than in the main church parking areas.
*Best Option: Park along nearby streets where permitted or in the Hubbard Woods parking lot, then enter the trail from the stairway on the bridge at Scott Avenue - it’s a short 3–5 minute walk south down the trail to Tower Road.*
The Winnetka Police Department has been notified of our event.
What to Bring
What to Wear
Warm-Up & Start LocationThis year, there will be no organized warm-up. Head directly to the Green Bay Trail entrance at Tower Road and Old Green Bay Road. Look for signage along Old Green Bay Road to help guide you to the start area.
In Case of RainThe race will take place rain or shine. Bring a rain jacket if the forecast calls for showers!
After PartyAfter the race, join us in the Sacred Heart gym for hot coffee, bagels, and munchkins! Kids can play on the playground while parents mingle and celebrate.
We can’t wait to see everyone out on the trail celebrating fitness, community, and Sacred Heart spirit!
With gratitude,
Your Heart & Sole Race Team |
