Woodridge Runners Help Make First Fort2Base Race a Success

Two Woodridge runners took part in the 11.5-mile race, which started at Fort Sheridan and ended at the Great Lakes Naval Station.

On Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011, a new tradition was born in the northern suburbs with the first annual Fort2Base run. 

The run was a 10 nautical mile (11.5 miles) race starting at historic Fort Sheridan and ending at the Great Lakes Naval Station via the Green Bay Trail.

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