Barrington Athletes Complete Fort2Base Run

On Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011, a new tradition was born in the northern suburbs. The first annual Fort2Base run, a 10 nautical mile (11.5 miles) race starting at Fort Sheridan and ending at the Great Lakes Naval Station was held.

Most race participants hailed from all over Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana although some came from as far away as Virginia and California. Among the 784 runners, four were from Barrinton.

The names and race completion times of the Barrington participants are as follow:

Keri Houston (#861), 1:47:01

Polina Sgibneya (#808), 2:00:29

Peggy Trowbridge (#268), 1:50:22

Sherry Whigman (#747), 1:51:11
