Today (Tuesday, July 14), the Common Council adopted file #260430 – a resolution approving the HaRUNbee 5K Walk/Run for Healthy Birth Outcomes as part of Bronzeville Week 2026. This year will be the 11th annual HaRUNbee 5K Walk/Run, taking place during the 16th Annual Bronzeville Week, running from August 1-8, with the HaRUNbee 5K kicking off the week of activities on Saturday, August 1.
The HaRUNbee 5K Walk/Run for Healthy Birth Outcomes was designed to raise awareness and to prevent unhealthy birth outcomes across the nation. Organized by the National Coalition for Healthy Black Families (NCHBF), the HaRUNbee Walk/Run promotes wellness by encouraging families to stay healthy and fit, both mentally and physically. Those interested in participating in the event as a runner, walker, or volunteer can learn more and register here. Groups of 10 or more are encouraged to register at special rates and compete for a trophy.
Alderwoman Milele A. Coggs is inviting community members to participate in and support this year’s 5K. “The HaRUNbee 5K Run/Walk is just a few weeks away, and there is still time to sign up as a runner, walker, or a volunteer,” she said. “Together, we can all play a role in reducing negative health outcomes in our community, one step at a time,”
