Recreations Inaugural Color Run, Walk, & Roll – Join the Celebration! By: Liz Visteen, Superintendent of Recreation It’s time to lace up your sneakers and join us in a world of vibrant color at our first annual Color Run, Walk, & Roll event. This fitness event is hosted by the Parks Foundation of Franklin Park and School District 84 Parent Teacher Association. On Sunday, April 28, at 9:00 a.m., we invite the community to join us for a 2-mile course around Franklin Park. The race starts and ends at North Park, 10040 Addison Avenue. The cost is $20 per person for ages 4 & up and $30 for day of registration. As shown in the image below, there will be four color stations along the course. As participants pass through these stations, they will be showered with bright, environmentally friendly colored powders. This unique feature adds an element of fun and excitement to the event, turning the course into a canvas of colors. By participating in this event, families are investing in their well-being and contributing to the health and happiness of the broader community. All of the event proceeds will go to the Parks Foundation of Franklin Park and School District 84 Parent Teacher Association. The Parks Foundation is a nonprofit organization that works towards expanding recreation opportunities for residents in financial hardship. School District 84 Parent Teacher Association hosts social events for students and supports teachers and staff by providing grant programs and scholarship funds for District 84 alumni. Participants can register online at fpparks.org. Early registration guarantees a spot in this event and a t-shirt. Families are encouraged to register together, making it a group effort towards a healthier lifestyle.
