Event summary
Join the community in Glenview, Cook, on Saturday, September 14, 2024, for the vibrant "Run or Stroll, Wear Pink for Nicole 5K." This heartwarming event kicks off at 8:30 AM with rolling start times, allowing participants to take their strides in support of Nicole Pinelli Kucera and all those battling breast cancer. The race features a 5K distance, and while it has sold out, you can still contribute to the cause by donating until October 1st.
Participants are encouraged to wear pink in solidarity, whether running solo or as part of a team.

Together, let's make strides toward a cure and support Nicole's journey!
