About this race

Started in 2012, the Go Fish 5k and Kids' Color Run had a goal of getting people off the couch and active. This includes active teens and adults, older individuals who would not traditionally consider participating in a 5k, as well as families. Entire families are encouraged to participate together, with awards going to the fastest individuals and fastest families. Starting at 8am, there is a Kid's 1/2 mile Color run on the school grounds followed by a 5K Run/Walk on the Fox River Bike Path.  To encourage families to participate there are plenty of activities post-race including games, face-painting and bouncy houses. The affiliated school PTA also hosts a pancake breakfast to encourage families to spend additional time together and in community.  All proceeds benefit the Fish Food Pantry of Carpentersville, our local food pantry for families in need.

Join fellow runners on August 15, 2026 for the Go Fish 5K & Kids' Color Run. It's a fantastic 4.8K, 1.6K featuring a flat and fast course in East Dundee.
