Northbrook Runners Help Make First Fort2Base Run A Success
Several runners from Northbrook raced the Great Lakes Naval base on Sept. 11 in the first race ever held on the grounds.
On Sunday, September 11, 2011, a new tradition was born in the northern suburbs. Racers from around the area took off early for the first annual Fort2Base run, a 10 nautical mile (11.5 miles) race starting at Fort Sheridan and ending at the Great Lakes Naval Station via the Green Bay Trail. Most race participants hailed from Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, although some came from as far away as Virginia and California. Among the 784 runners, six were from Northbrook.
