Weekend Runs Will Be Wintery

Around Chicago, you never know what kind of weather will hit in early December. It really appears we'll get accumulating snow starting Friday night and continuing through Saturday morning. We're right on the line for a couple of inches or maybe six or more, depending on how the front flows through. Among running events that could be affected by this snow event are Saturday's La Grange YMCA Reindeer Run 5K at Brookfield Zoo and the Road to Boston opening run downtown. Sunday's Cross Country Challenge in Gilberts, the Santa Hustle 5k in the city and the Lifetime Fitness Reindeer Run 5K at Herrick lake in Warrenville also could be quite snowy. Dress in layers and be careful if it's slippery.
