On a beautiful warm and sunny Saturday, November 7th, Chicago Run hosted the 2009 Fall Fun Run to honor the 30 CPS schools involved in our programs.  Over 1,500 students, teachers, and parents participated in this healthy and active event which was supported by LISC, Washington Park Consortium, Bank of America, Nike, World Sport Chicago, and the Pritzker Traubert Family Foundation.
