Raised for Mesothelioma Research Since 2018

Our Mission

The Mesothelioma Race for Justice 5K was founded as an integral piece of Vogelzang Law’s large-scale commitment to fueling cancer research.

What initially started off as a one-time summer event has since been transformed into an annual occurrence as a direct result of overwhelming support from the mesothelioma community. Our team at Vogelzang Law has been so inspired and appreciative of all of our participants, sponsors, and volunteers; we intend to continue to draw awareness to the unique and difficult circumstances of those affected by mesothelioma.

This year’s race will be hosted in-person and virtually so that all of our participants from across the country and globe can join us! The in-person race will take place on Saturday, September 2nd, 2023 at Shelter A of the Lake County Forest Preserve Half Day Location in Vernon Hills, IL. Virtual participants have September 1st through September 26, 2023 (Mesothelioma Awareness Day) to complete their remote race.

Early Bird Registration opens on March 15, 2023 | General Registration opens on April 2, 2023
