The 2008 KMF Fun Run & Walk

On October 25, 2008, over 100 people gathered in the Sun Lake Forest Preserve in Lake Villa, IL, to participate in the KMF Fun Run & Walk.


(Participants arrive early to claim their KMF t-shirts, bandannas, and green apples.)

The rain held off as friends, family, neighbors, and newcomers watched and participated in the 100m Kids’ Race and the 5K Fun Run & Walk.

Participants and onlookers learned more about KMF’s mission and vision, its current projects, and its upcoming year.
