RUN, WALK, HAVE FUN, AND SUPPORT WGVU

Join us on the morning of April 25th at Millennium Park for three community-powered events: a 5K Fun Run, a 2-Mile Walk, or a 1-Mile Dog and Kid Run. It's a day built around movement, connection, and supporting WGVU PUBLIC MEDIA'S MISSION. [https://www.wgvu.org/]
