About the Race To the Flag
The race is put on by the local park district in partnership with a nearby nonprofit that provides food, shelter, clothing assistance, job training, and other support to neighbors in need. Proceeds go directly to that organization, so the entry fee does something concrete in the area beyond the finish line.
