Thanks for joining us everybody. We had a great race, with 765 people registered and 635 finishers. There are some race photos up already, and the results are available too.

We had a perfect day, with beautiful cool running weather. Thanks to everybody for coming out, and thanks to everybody who helped make it happen - the sponsors, the volunteers, the guests.

We hope you'll join us again next year, for Proud To Run 2008.


This year's Proud to Run is in honor of the race founder, Peg Grey. Peg passed away in February of this year. She founded Proud To Run in 1982 and served as its director from 1982 through 1989. She also co-founded the Chicago Frontrunners/Frontwalkers. This is a tribute to her tremendous contribution, to both Proud To Run and to the Chicago Frontrunners/Frontwalkers.
