Our Story

Welcome to No Frills Fun Run, where every gesture you take brings hope and support to families facing challenges.

Thank you for being a part of the No Frills Family!​ 

No Frills Fun Run is an annual charitable run that was started in 2012 by two moms in Elmhurst, Illinois. Each year, local families in need are selected to receive 100% of the proceeds from all the funds raised across various fundraising events, the race registration and a rockin' after race party with raffle baskets and silent auction items.  The run itself is exactly as its name implies... "no frills". It's usually cold (and sometimes snowy!) outside but the incredible hearts of this community's runners, sponsors and volunteers make this one of the warmest events in town.  The race takes place on the last Sunday in February with a start and finish at the Prairie Path and York Road.  The course option is a 5K distance, you can complete it twice for a 10K. You can also choose to run or walk a mile if that's more your speed! What matters more than the distance is your participation and support!
