Veterans 5K is back!

We sure missed you in 2021, but we didn't forget you in 2021! The race has pulled hundreds of runners over the years. The course includes street running, park running and a long trek through the Cook County Forest Preserve. The first 100 racers will receive a small handheld flag to display while they run. Now, go find your red, white and blue and we will see you on November 14, 2021.
