Join Team Lake Katherine for the Southwest Half Marathon

Calling all runners! Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens is recruiting Team Lake Katherine runners for the First Midwest Southwest Half Marathon being held
this May.

The Kick-Off Meeting for Team Lake Katherine is on Thursday, Feb 9, from 6:00pm to 7:00pm at the Lake Katherine Nature Center, 7402 West Lake Katherine Drive, Palos Heights. 

By joining Team Lake Katherine, you help gather donations for your individual run; those donations are used by Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens for its
restoration efforts, education programs, and care of its animals.

On the day of the Half Marathon (May 6), Team Lake Katherine runners will receive a wick-away T-shirt, water bottle, and free gear check at the Lake Katherine beer tent area.

If you are unable to join Team Lake Katherine but are still running in the Half Marathon, please consider donating to Lake Katherine when you sign up for the race.

Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens is one of the registered charities for the race this year.
