NEW RAIN DATE: Join the 2nd Annual Gelfand Gallop Color Dash on Sunday, October 1st at Richard E. John’s Park at 2101 Central Road, Glenview. This fun, family event is a fundraiser that benefits The Debra Gelfand Children’s Foundation. The Gelfand Gallop is a community run where throughout the course participants get covered from head to toe with vibrant colors made from safe, food-grade, biodegradable cornstarch. By the time participants cross the finish line, they will be covered in a brilliant palette of warm and cool hues. Participants can choose to run either One Mile or Two Miles and there is even a 50 yard mini-dash for children ages five and under! Every participant will receive a t-shirt and a “goodie bag”. If there is inclement weather, the Gelfand Gallop will take place on Oct. 1, 2023.
