ALS Awareness 5k

• ALS Awareness 5k:- Run 3.1 Miles

There are six individuals with ties to the Emdne, IL community that lost their lives to this ALS.  They were more than just five people - they were a husband, wife, daughter, grandpa, grandma, mother, father, brother, sister, neighbor, and friend to all the  people they left behind.  And while there were three local individuals that inspired this run/walk, they are just five of 5,600 people in the United States that are diagnosed with this deadly disease every year.

These families, with the unbelievable support of many, many volunteers have combined their efforts to make this run/race possible.  While there is no cure for ALS, there has been significant progress towards a cure in recent years.  We need to keep this momentum going.

The funds from this event all go to ALS Worldwide and the Les Turner Foundation and are designated for research.

The course is all asphalt.  The race starts at the Stag-r-Inn and winds itself out into the countryside and then back into town and finishes at the Stag-r-Inn.

Registration fee for the event is $25.00.  With the paid fee each participant will receive a race t-shirt, water and fruit at the end of the race, a drink ticket to be used at the Stag-r-Inn and a post race meal  that includes fresh roasted hog. 

There will be a Silent Auction, Raffle and 50/50 as well as following the race a DJ and bags tournament.
