GLOWing Event Coming Up – something fun for everyone!

Let’s GLOW get him!  The 2^nd annual Coles County Chop Chase, hosted by the Family Caregiver Resource Center at your LifeSpan Center, is a 1-mile family friendly walk/run and a 5k GLOW walk/run will take place on Friday, September 8^th!

The 1-mile event will begin at 7:30pm and the 5k will follow at approximately 9:00pm with Sheriff Jimmy Rankin in the lead.  Participants can expect to pass through 5 GLOW tent stations along the route and are encouraged to wear GLOW colors and/or accessories to compliment the event theme.  (White or neon-colored items are encouraged – the brighter, the better!)  Race runners will attempt to “catch a cop” and finish the race with a faster time than Sheriff Rankin!

For extra-added fun, a GLOW photo booth will be available for all to share in the fun --- and our DJ will be cranking up the volume to keep everyone’s feet moving!  And all registered participants will have the chance to receive a “Citation”.  These may include area restaurant gift cards, gifts, and other community business door prize contributions!
