Founded in 1995 to promote running from Elgin down to Aurora, now 400-plus members. Wednesday group runs move with the season — the Great Western Trail in St. Charles when it is warm, the Fox River Trail out of downtown Batavia when it is not — with weekend runs from the Fabyan Forest Preserve, and everyone eats afterwards.
