Stay active, have fun and help students with NEF’s Charity Heroes at the Endeavor Health Naperville Half Marathon, 10K and 5K
Race Day: Sunday, October 20, 2024
Grab your sneakers, set a fitness goal, and raise funds for your favorite school!
Every step you take as a TEAM NEF Charity Hero in the Endeavor Health Naperville Half Marathon, 10K and 5K promotes your physical and mental well-being.
Every dollar you raise makes a meaningful difference in the lives of Naperville 203 students.
When you walk, run and raise funds, you support YOUR SCHOOL and you make resources available for students throughout the district when and where they are needed most.
Come together with parents, teachers, students, staff and community members to run, walk and raise funds for your favorite Naperville 203 school and NEF. Each TEAM NEF member commits to raising at least $203*, with half the funds you raise going to your school and half to support NEF-funded district-wide programs like Kid Booster Anonymous, Express Grants, INCubator, FIRST Lego League and more! You can also choose to have all the funds you raise go to NEF.
TEAM NEF 2024 registration is OPEN!
*Family friendly event! There is a $203 fundraising commitment for an individual, and a $30 fundraising commitment for each additional family member who joins the team. (Family members do not have to participate in support of the same school.)
Registration closes August 31, 2024. Sign up TODAY for the best race entry rates!
