About this race

We’re excited to celebrate 10 incredible years of The Perfect Cadence—a labor of love created from love. To mark this milestone, we invite you to join us for a special 10-Year Anniversary 5K FUN(draiser) Run! 

It's virtual so you can participate from anywhere! But if you're in Chicago and would like to run with us, meet us Saturday, November 8th at Douglass Park (near Grove 5). We will head out at 9am!

Whether you run, jog, or walk, your participation supports our mission to provide resources to new and expecting families - including helping us introduce our new initiative, The Parent Pantry, launching in 2026. These pantries will allow us to have a broader reach and provide families across the city with more access to resources. Each pantry will be accessible via electronic code and will be stocked with diapers & wipes, new and gently loved clothes and shoes, accessories, and other baby-related items.

Additionally, we will close out this year with a gift giveaway on December 13th - just in time for the holidays. We will invite parents to come and get an unopened, unwrapped gift (puzzle, doll, toy cars and other figures) for their child/children. 

Registration includes a race shirt and medal.

If you take photos after you've completed your run/walk, please share and use #TPCTEN5K
