This race is tied directly to overdose awareness and remembrance. It is put on by a county opioid initiative, and the crowd reflects that: families, people in recovery, advocates, and neighbors who have lost someone. The route is a road run and walk through Lake Villa, with food trucks and a resource fair running alongside the event in the morning.
