On Tuesday, July 4, the 18th annual Elmhurst Running Club 4 on the 4th race stepped off right on schedule, starting and finishing on Prospect Ave. between Elmhurst University and Wilder Park.
The four-mile event was followed by a one-kilometer Kids Race for ages 5-12.
The 4 on the 4th is a Fourth of July weekend tradition for many participants. The not-for-profit Elmhurst Running Club donates a portion of race proceeds to local charities.
