Annual Turkey Day Run 5K/8K nov em b er 2 4 | C h i C a g o , i L By Denise Sauriol
Thanksgiving is our annual reminder to consciously embrace gratitude; gratitude for our health, our family, our friends and to me and my fellow trotters, the gift of running. Whether its family created at birth or created in a training season a lot of us make the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot an annual family tradition of gratitude and justification for second helpings. This year, family members and I ran the Life Time Turkey Trot in Lincoln Park. Having 8,000 turkey’s running through Lincoln Park, you would that think we would have been running on top of each other. This was not the case as it was a waved start based upon average pace. I felt like the race organization did a great job of designing the and managing the crowd. This event had a race distance for every age and pace. The race distance for the kids ranged from a 50-yard dash to a half mile. The 5K and 8K started off together and then 90 minutes later the kids Plymouth Rock races started. 8K Male Results 1.

Ugly Sweater 5K
november 26, 2016 | Westmont, iL By Holly Petrovich
The third annual Ugly Sweater 5K was hosted by the Westmont Rotary Club and was part of the Westmont Holly Days Festival. Because everyone has an obnoxious sweater that they do not otherwise wear, Westmont wanted to give people a chance to wear them! Along with the 5K race, an ugliest sweater contest was held, where they received prizes along with the race winners. Proceeds from the event went to the Westmont Rotary club to help support their student exchange and scholarship programs. Male 5K Results 1. Nick Dea 2. Nick Spotts 3. Chris Fruy 4. Jake Dooley 5.

Arctic Frog 25K/50K

Over 200 runners participated in the Arctic Frog 25K/50K in Independence Grove Forest Preserve in Libertyville.
“ultra trail vibe” but not quite ready for an ultra. The course was a 25K loop course with the 50K participants completing two loops. The loop consisted of three out-and-backs of varying lengths with the final stretch being the victory lap around the primary basin before the finish line. Racers experienced mild elevation changes and a mix of concrete, limestone and trail surfaces. Male 50K Results 1. Owen Bradley 2. Matthew Jeromin 3. Josh Rogowski 4. Luke Roesler 5. Vic Ciancetta 6.
