triding through the road or cheering from the side the annual Plainfield Harvest 5K/10K Run is a community event for all ages that also benefits the community.
For 27 years the local race has brought out friends, families, competitive runners and those completing their first 5K. From the start line at Village Green Park winding through the downtown and residential streets, more than 800 participants are expected to take part in the 5K, 10K and kids mile run. The Plainfield-Shorewood Area Chamber of Commerce race committee, comprised of local business owners, village and park district staff, coordinates the annual race, from sponsorships to volunteers on race day. Race day volunteers include families, businesses and local organizations, explained Tasha Marsaglia, executive director for the Plainfield Shorewood Area Chamber of Commerce. Last year the dance team from the YMCA volunteered at the Mile 2 water station, pumping music in the air and cheering on runners. Also last year, the Plainfield North Cross Country and Track teams volunteered at the finish line handing out finisher medals, Marsaglia said. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4
