The Butterball Burner 5K Fun Run takes place at 2920 West 183rd Street in Homewood, Illinois on November 22, 2026. Despite its name, the event features a 1-mile distance rather than a full 5K. The race starts at 8:00 AM, making it an early-morning commitment typical of holiday-season running events. Entry fees range from $35 to $45. This 1-mile format works well for runners seeking a shorter, faster effort or those looking to warm up before other weekend activities. The fall timing in the Chicago suburbs means you should prepare for potential cool weather conditions and plan your travel accordingly.
