Kick off Mother’s Day weekend by participating in the annual “Groovin’ in the Grove” 5K Run and Fun Walk on Saturday, May 10th at Midwestern University, 555 31st Street, Downers Grove, IL. The rain or shine race is a great family event and open to all interested participants with proceeds benefiting the Sharing Connections Furniture Bank in Downers Grove.
The race is designed for people of all ages, abilities, and fitness levels. Start time for the 5K Run/Walk is 9:00 am. Children are also welcome to participate in separate events which start at 10:00 am. New this year is the Warrior Fitness Challenge which participants 14 and older can add to their race registration for an additional fee. The fitness challenge will provide participants with a fitness score graded by military personnel on the results from a two-minute push up test, a two-minute sit up test, and time for the 5K Race. Points are awarded based on performance and factor in age. Proceeds from the fitness challenge will benefit the Wounded Warriors Project.
