Location: Arvey Field Grant Park, Chicago (By Roosevelt between Columbus and Balbo)
Beneficiary: Guadalupe A. Reyes Scholarship Program
Going on its second year, the Recorrido del Sol 5k Run/Walk is a fundraiser for the Guadalupe A. Reyes Fiesta del Sol Scholarship Program. Recorrido del Sol was the first major running event from the Pilsen community to benefit first generation Latino college students from Chicago’s Southwest side.
Besides being a fun and healthy event, the Recorrido del Sol 5k Run and Walk empowers youth through teamwork in organizing and participating in the event and by helping young Latino students pay for college. In 2012, teams made up of ten or more represented different companies, organizations and schools to support the cause; among them were DePaul University, Irma Ruiz Elementary School, Instituto del Progreso Latino (IDPL) and WGN Channel 9. The Recorrido del Sol took place in April at Chicago’s Grant Park with over 200 participants. This year we expect over 600 participants.
