The 5K Up Up and Away run on
Sunday morning was a great success. Runners of all levels, plus families
and friends, came to support one another.
The Lincoln Park District hosted the event, and the Lake Run Club of
Bloomington-Normal conducted the race. Numerous volunteers were
present from both groups.
