May 22, 2010 - ABTA 5k

Anyone interested in running a 5k for a good cause?

One of my oldest friends has been suffering from the effects of a brain tumor for several years. If any of you are preparing for other races, maybe you'd be interested in practicing through this event? Here are some details, but email me (hillaryweber [at] gmail.com) if you have any questions.

It's $30 to register. ($40 on race day, online registration closes Wed, May 19)
You can run or walk.
Saturday, May 22.
@ Soldier Field.
8:30 am start time.
More information: www.pathtoprogress.org.

The American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA) is a 37-year old organization that helps support patients and families dealing with this disease as it works to find a cure.

This event is pretty low key. People walking bring strollers, dogs, etc. and tend to walk in "groups" so the walk is pretty slow. Runners go off ahead of walkers. This is my 3rd year participating, and I've signed up to run (yikes!) for the first time.

I think that's about it?
