About this run
Limitless Momentum is proud to announce our 2nd Annual Better Than Yesterday 5K on Saturday, November 7th at Wilder Park in Aurora, IL (350 N. River St). The Better Than Yesterday 5K is about progress, not perfection. This is a run/walk, so all "walks of life" are welcome. This will be a chipped race. Whether you’re chasing a personal record or simply showing up for yourself, this event is a reminder that every step forward matters. This event is rooted in resilience, overall well-being and the belief that becoming better than yesterday is worth the effort. All proceeds from the Better Than Yesterday 5K will be donated to A Call To Shoulders, a local, veteran-focused nonprofit that helps former service members build purpose and skills through hands-on craftsmanship training and workshop programs.

Please ensure all children are supervised at all times and remain in the designated walk areas so runners have a clear course. All registrations are FINAL and NON-REFUNDABLE.
