Tortugas Run Club Sunday Morning Runs @ 10 am

As a kid, David Pascal Ruiz spent a lot of time visiting the Pilsen neighborhood where his father grew up. After Ruiz’s father passed away, he founded Tortugas (”turtles” in Spanish, and the same name his mother use as a team name in 5K races with her sisters) and planned the run club’s weekly two-mile route to pass by his father’s childhood home, church and meaningful spots as a way to honor the neighborhood and his dad’s legacy. Members are invited to walk, jog or run and most weeks you’ll find runners hanging out after the run in Harrison Park laughing, socializing and hosting pitch-ins. Sundays at 10am. Where: Paulus Park 200 S. Rand Rd., Lake Zurich, just about ¼ mile north of Rt. 22 on Rand Rd. (U.S. Rt. 12). The course enters into North Barrington in the Biltmore subdivision. This is a hillier route and a great workout! We often meet at Tacos el Norte afterwards for Taco Tuesday or at another sponsor location! Distance: 5.25 mile loop for all speed levels. Route: Alpine Runners Tuesday Route Note: 5K Program Participants will meet at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays during training program dates.
