This group is aimed to bring together Elgin and western suburbs runners for group runs, races and social gatherings. I am creating this group because all of the local running groups all seem to gather downtown Chicago, far away from Elgin. Runners of all experience levels and running types should join. I will organize group runs bi-weekly, more as demand increases.
