Help Support A Cause That's 2nd 2 None!

THE CAUSE

Adequate nutrition is extremely important to every school-aged child's ability to develop properly, stay healthy, and learn well in school.  More than 19,000 children in Aurora schools are eligible for free and reduced-price lunch during the school year. In the summer, however, this food is not available and these children are at risk of hunger and its negative consequences, including delayed development, poor health, behavioral problems, and inability to concentrate on learning tasks.

The 2nd 2 None 5K Run & Walk, a collaboration between Communities In Schools (CIS) and Aurora Area Interfaith Food Pantry (AAIFP), raises funds to support the Food for Thought Program and other programs that help feed Aurora children at risk of hunger.

THE RUN

Step off at 8:00 AM from the new RiverEdge Park in downtown Aurora.  Run through the beautiful park, along the streets of historic downtown Aurora and finish along the Fox River Trail in RiverEdge Park. 

Runners compete by gender in five year age brackets.  First, second and third place medals are awarded for each category. Challenge categories are also available for corporate and school district teams.  Each participant receives a Dri-Fit race shirt and a 'goody' bag, with coupons and gifts from local vendors. (NOTE: Shirts and goody bags are guaranteed only for participants who pre-register by April 13, 2014)

Join the 2nd 2 None 5K Run & Walk for the exercise, fun and the opportunity to support our children.

Walk, run or just cheer on the athletes. Everyone has fun!
