The May 26 Soldier Field 10 Mile was the USATF Illinois Championship
race and offered a prize purse of $2,000.
More than 4,200 runners finished the 10-mile race, which sold out in
early April. Runners finished on the 50-yard line of Soldier Field and
had their image dispalyed on the jumbotron as they strided onto the
field. The course ran along the south Lakefront Path.
Beneficiaries included the Veteran's Assistance Commission of Cook
County and the FitMatters Program at LaRabida Children's Hospital.
