Charger Stampede 2025

The 5th Annual Charger Stampede 5K is here! This year we are asking participants to help us raise funds to support the Tuition Assistance Fund of Illinois Lutheran Schools, and its ministry to share Jesus.

This event will take place on Saturday, October 18, at Goodenow Grove Nature Preserve, 27064 Dutton Rd, Beecher, IL. Check-in will begin at 8:30 AM; the run begins at 9:00 AM. Registration cost is $20 and will cover your race entry and a t-shirt. All participants will be required to sign a liability waiver at check-in, and we ask that you register online HERE in advance.

Pledges: Registrants are being asked to collect pledges in advance of the race. Pledges are a fixed amount and not tied to distance or run time. Prizes will be awarded to participants who collect the most pledge dollars. 100% of proceeds go to support the Gospel ministry of Illinois Lutheran Schools. We want all students to hear about and share Jesus with less stress about the cost of schooling.

Within a few days after you register online, you will receive an email from 99Pledges with a link to your individual pledge page. We strongly encourage that your pledges be made securely online, but if you do receive cash or check pledges, please turn them in on the day of the race at the registration table and not to the school office. You can find your pledge page at https://app.99pledges.com/fund/charger5k. Just scroll down to your name and share your page link with family and friends. Can't wait to see you there!
