Neighbors - Thank you for being a part of something special in Carol Stream. The Carol Stream 5K Walk/Run is a new event for our town. We love our Veterans and we can't thank them enough. The idea is for the community to come together on Sunday, November 8th (before Veterans Day) and do a walk/run. We will start at the town center. Go through Armstrong Park and end up at the Town Center. After the race, we will all go grab lunch at JT's Corner Tap & Eatery for drinks and a raffle.
