Although a bit on the warm side, Wednesday was a beautiful night for a sunset race. Beginning with a Youth Mile and Toddler Trot, kids of all ages were able to particpate, and celebrate with pizza at the end. The 5K began at 7:05 p.m., and the course looped around Geneva Community High School. The 19th Annual Summer Sunset 5K had 24 runners finish under 20 minutes, including one 9-year-old.

Holly's running career began in high school; after being bummed about not making the volleyball team her sophomore year, she decided to join some of her middle school friends on the cross country team. She also did track in the fall, where the 1600 m race was her niche. Since then, she has run many distance races, and is going for her first marathon at the 2018 Bank of America Chicago Marathon this October. She graduated from Illinois State University in May 2016 with a degree in journalism, and is working towards her Master in Arts in New Media and Marketing.
