Abuelitos 5k is a fun and family oriented event with the purpose of celebrating family and contribution of grandparents. This 5K is an opportunity to stay healthy and run/walk shoulder to shoulder with our children and grandchildren. Overcome all obstacles and register for this exciting event. The Charity partner for this 5k is Centro Romero, a community organization in the northside of Chicago that offers after school programs, ESL and GED classes, and youth leadership programs among others.
Dress up as a grandpa or grandma (custom) and be ready to spend time together with your beloved ones who give so much for our community. A purpose of the 5k is to reach out to abuelit@s who need to socialize in a fun environment and hopefully begin running/walking clubs for people over 60 years old.
All runners will enjoy cafecito, and delicious tamales. Runners will enjoy Andean Music.
Come and run with us. Everyone is welcome to exercise, stay fit, healthy, strengthen our families and community.
