2017 BIG HEART 5K

The inaugural BIG HEART 5K Run and Walk is now in the books. It turned out to be a great day with sunshine, 80 degrees and well over 200 pairs of Norwegian Flag socks running or walking through the beautiful LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve. Congratulations to Nathan Wendt and Kennedy Calcagno as the overall male and female winners.
