Daily Herald report

Registration is now open for SALUTE Inc.'s annual Memorial Day Weekend 5K/10K in Arlington Heights, to raise funds to help meet the financial, physical and emotional needs of injured military service members, veterans and their families.

The Palatine-based nonprofit is bringing back the Mayor's Challenge, the adaptive division race for those in wheelchairs, using hand cycles or who are visually impaired.

They're also adding a virtual run for those who are traveling over the weekend or for out-of-state supporters. Virtual runners can run their own 5K or 10K course. Those who register for the virtual run will receive an official race shirt.

The race is being moved to a Saturday, so participants can make the most of their holiday weekend. This year's race will be held at 8 a.m. May 25, near Recreation Park, 500 E. Miner St. To learn more or register, visit www.saluteinc.org/events/salute-inc-5k-10k.
