Run and Roll for the Dole and Soles for the Dole 5k

The
Lakeside Legacy Arts Park and Girls on the Run of Northwest Illinois
(GOTRNWIL)  are excited to be hosting the first annual Soles for the Dole
5K in conjunction with the Run and Roll for the Dole on October 6, 2013. All
proceeds from the Soles for the Dole 5k will go towards supporting both
organizations missions and commitment to the community. The two races are for people of all ages and skill levels.

“We
are excited to be partnering with another great non-profit” said Erin McElroy,
Advancement Coordinator at Lakeside Legacy Arts Park. “We support each other as
non-profits and this is just one way to show the community that while we
address different needs, we are a team in providing exceptional services to our
county. “

The
races will begin and end at the Dole Mansion in Crystal Lake and starts promptly
at 8:00 a.m.  In addition to the race, there will be a costume contest for the 5k. “This
year, the GOTR NWIL theme is “experience the pure joy of being your own action
hero” said Laurie Dayon, Executive Director of GOTRNWIL. “We want participants
to be creative in what their very own super hero would look like.  Think
beyond our typical super heroes. Love flowers or gardening? Build a costume
around that. Enjoy reading? You can create your own superhero costume that
reflects your love of reading! The point is to have fun with it.”  There
will be prizes handed out to the top three most creative costumes. Costumes are
encouraged, but not a requirement to participate in the 5k race. The Duathlon does not have a costume contest, but does have individual and team options.

The Lakeside Legacy Arts
Park mission is to preserve and protect the Dole Mansion and Arts property
for community use in a natural and historic setting for generations to come.
Lakeside’s vision is to be an innovative community arts center. Lakeside is steeped
in art and history, and it is a place for the community to gather and to be
inspired.  

Girls on the Run of
Northwest Illinois inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a
fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. We
envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential
and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.
