Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley held its 16th annual Run for the Kids: Superhero Hustle run/walk on Saturday morning in Villa Park. All participants in the 5-kilometer run and 2-mile walk were encouraged to dress as their favorite superhero. Matthew Sisto (bib No. 1634), who attends Fenton High School, won the 5-kilometer race in a finishing time of 18 minutes, 17 seconds. Justin Sattler (bib No. 1627) of Lombard finished second. Celi Dietzen (bib No. 1564), an occupational therapist at the facility, placed third. Nolan Larr (bib No. 1597), a 5-year-old from Villa Park, is pictured as he approaches the finish line. One photo shows the brief children’s dash, which took place in the Easterseals & DuPage Fox Valley facility’s parking lot after the end of the run/walk.
