Kids’ Free Track Event
Lake Forest Lake Bluff Running Club
Bring your kids to a fun, free community track event sponsored by the LFLB Running Club!
- Saturday, July 18, 2026 from 1–3 p.m.
- Lake Forest Academy Track: 1500 Kennedy Road; Lake Forest, IL 60045.
(Note the NEW LOCATION THIS YEAR!)
Club volunteers will lead different age groups of kids (toddler—middle school) through various practice track events. Participants will enjoy trying different relays, dashes and a broad jump. Jenny Spangler—our LFLB club coach and a US Olympian—will be there to help the kids along.
Everyone is a WINNER! Participation ribbons will be presented to the kids with a special frozen treat at the end of the event. Water will also be available.
