The charitable runners who came out to Palatine last Saturday sure painted the town red, white and blue! The downtown streets were overflowing with support for this well-renowned Christian Ministry and our beloved country. With perfect weather and an excellent turnout, it only seems right to thank Young Life and the man upstairs.
As the gun went off at 8:00am, the dedicated runners began their 5K trek through the scenic route. Race Marshals and spectators helped cheer on the athletes as they crossed the finish line. As they cooled off with fresh water under the July sun, the 100-Yard Kids Dash was underway.
Following in their role model's footsteps, these youngsters put their best foot forward and finished their big race. With the kids' spirits full of pride, there wasn't a gloomy soul in the crowd as they broke through the finish line all smiles.
As everyone was finally cooling down, downtown Palatine was just heating up. Although the sun was blazing, everyone stuck around the join in the festive post-race carnival and parade.
