Stay Swifty, Stay You: Run Coaching Info Session
Running a fall race and want some guidance? Have goals but have trouble sticking to them? Think having a run coach is only for the elites? Think again! Come learn from Captain Swifter/RRCA certified running coach Sabrina Ehmke how having a run coach can change your running for the better!
On Tuesday, May 7, Sabrina will be hosting a brief info session on what having a running coach can do for you. Come run/walk with the Swifters at 6:00pm at Sketchbook Brewery in Skokie, then meet back in the taproom at 6:30pm to learn more about reaching your next running and walking goals! This meeting is free and open to all. Hope to see you there!

Niles Township Woodland and Prairie Restoration
Celebrate Earth month after April through policy and action! Supervisor Bonnie Kahn Ognisanti applied for and was awarded a $13,000 grant to restore an unutilized, unsightly field into a beautiful, native, woodland and prairie garden. This new and improved, beautiful landscape will be open to the community to enjoy.
The Township is in need of volunteers on May 18th, from 10 am - 12 pm to help remove invasive plants throughout the area before planting, spread wood chips to prevent invasive seeds from resprouting, and to plant native species that our ecosystem depends on to thrive. No previous knowledge is necessary. Please bring gloves, a shovel, a strong back, and your kick-butt/can-do energy. We can make our community better together!
Please help us get a head count by RSVPing.
Shufflin' Swifter Style!
The 2024 Race Season has officially begun. Around thirty Swifters hit the pavement in the Chicago Loop for the 43rd annual Shamrock Shuffle. We had PRs, first 8ks, and everything in between. We also placed 10th out of 50 teams in the Mixed Competitive division. Most of all, we had what we always have: a whole lot of support and even more fun!
