Frankfort Run aims for a small but meaningful crowd
Frankfort Run race director Tom Bartkus plans the fifth annual guided tour of the village historic district starting at 1 pm on Aug 27. He favors a 200 to 300 participant cap to avoid the crowds seen at larger events and to support the Frankfort Park District youth wrestling program with $6 early registration and $7 on race day. The event, beginning at Frankfort park Locust and Nebraska streets, seeks to balance charity with manageability as Bartkus emphasizes a tight, community-focused race.
