Lake County Fun Run!!!!
June 12, 2022
Come one, come all to the 2nd Annual Lake County Fun Run!
This will allow MG drivers and passengers to be social or to distance themselves, depending on how fast they want to drive. Speed limits along the route are mostly in the 40 – 50 mph range. We will explore some of the farmland and rurall areas just off the beaten track in northeast Lake County.
This is not exactly a rally since it won't be timed, but there will be things to watch for and write down, with points awarded for the correct answers. The winner will receive a recycled trophy!
The driver's meeting will take place at 9:45 AM in front of Jimmy's Charhouse, in Butterfield Square at the corner of Route 137 and Butterfield Road, Libertyville. There is a McDonald's right there if you need the loo or a cup of coffee.
The drive will take approximately two hours and end at a picnic area in Adeline Geokaris Illinois Beach State Park. Break out your picnic basket (I know you have at least one) and pack your own food and drink, but no alcohol is allowed in the park.
