2014 Up Up & Away 5K Post Race info

[August 26, 2014] 

Congratulations to everyone who took part in our Second Annual Up, Up & Away 5K!

Despite the heat, nearly 70 participants completed the 5K and all received a finisher medal!

The purpose of this event is to offer a fun and motivating run/walk for all levels of fitness and continue to facilitate better health and wellness to our community. We appreciate the help of our sponsors and volunteers for this event! We could not do it without their kind and generous contributions.

For a few, this was their first time completing a 5K. The Lincoln Park District Fit Zone, along with the LARC (Lincoln Area Running Club) offered a run group that met every Saturday this summer at the Lincoln Park District to help folks train for this event and others coming up this fall. We hope to continue to partner with the LARC and motivate others in our community to take part in upcoming run/walk events.

Stay tuned to the Lincoln Park District and Lincoln Area Running Club Facebook pages for information on upcoming group runs and events.

 All official times will be posted on the Lincoln Park District Facebook page and website as soon as we receive them.
