Get ready to lace up your running shoes because the Fox River Grove Memorial Library Running Club is back with an exhilarating in-person race! This year, we're bringing back the timed 5K fun run/walk along the stunning Fox River, as well as a 1-mile walk/run option. Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 13, and head to Lions Park for an epic day of racing and community celebration. And don't forget about the post-race party – it's going to be a blast! This is an event you won't want to miss, so join us for an unforgettable day of fitness, fun, and togetherness!

Join us in supporting GSNI's financial assistance programs. We're on a mission to ensure that every girl has the opportunity to experience the amazing world of Girl Scouts, no matter what challenges they face. From membership fees to uniforms, books, and even international adventures, we're dedicated to making the Girl Scout journey accessible to all. Last year, we raised an incredible $13,000 thanks to our phenomenal supporters, enabling us to continue shaping girls into courageous, confident, and compassionate leaders. Are you fired up to help us surpass that achievement this year? Let's go above and beyond!

Your registration fee covers everything you need for the Thin Mint Sprint: a cool Tek T-shirt, a high-tech chipped timing bib, a shiny medal, a trendy patch, a whole box of official Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies, and even more awesome race swag items.
