Join us for the Larry St. Onge Run to Benefit Others on October 22, 2022 at Danada Forest Preserve in Wheaton, IL.  Larry St. Onge inspired all those that knew him to strive for the greater good, to help and support others, and make the world a better place.  The Larry St. Onge Memorial Run to Benefit Others was created to honor Larry and carry his legacy forward by doing what we can to benefit those less fortunate.  

The Charity 10K, 5K, and Walk event will help fund lifesaving research, medical breakthroughs and programs advancing cardiovascular health for all. All donations raised by this event will be donated to the American Heart Association.

Join us for a great fall race on the crushed limestone trails at beautiful Danada forest Preserve in Wheaton to "give back". A Charity Walk will also be held for those wishing to participate but at a more relaxed pace.

If you are not able to run in this event, you can participate as a remote runner, or simply donate in memory of Larry.  By running or donating, together we can make a difference.
