On Sunday, February 24th, 2019, we will host the 8th annual NO FRILLS FUN RUN. Nominations are now closed and we are happy to share that the 2019 No Frills family is...
THE HAMBLINS! Meet the Hamblins. We are so excited to welcome them to the No Frills Family. We’re ready to fundraise for this family and honor Andy. 
Andy Hamblin, a lifelong Elmhurst resident, loved living in this town along with his wife Kelly and his two boys, Brandon 20, (York graduate) and Matthew 11, (6th grader at Churchville). In 2009, Andy was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Andy courageously battled this cancer and was considered in remission. In January 2015 during a routine health insurance screening, the Hamblin’s received some bad news. After months of doctor’s appointments and tests, Andy was diagnosed with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma, a rare form of a very rare cancer. Because of his previous battle with cancer, Andy and his family always had faith and hope that he would once again overcome the odds and beat cancer a second time. After countless chemo treatments, surgery attempts, and experimental treatments Andy passed away in his home on February 1st, 2018. Andy’s family and friends meant everything to him. He was an amazing father, husband, and friend and words cannot describe how much he is missed.

Race registration will open on:
December 15th!! Registration is $100/individual runner, $75/teams of 10 or more (includes awesome SWAG BAGS!)
If you are running with a team, be sure your team captain registers first! Want to start a team? Do it! Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." |
No Frills Fun Run is an annual charitable run that was started in 2012 by two moms in Elmhurst, Illinois. Each year, one local family in need is 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 Prairie Path with a start and finish at York and the Prairie Path. There is a course option to run a half-marathon as well as a "half-half" distance (6.55 miles). 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!
