Proud To Run received a special recognition award from Mayor Rahm Emanuel and many leaders of Chicago's LGBT community at the June 9th Chicago Pride 2011 Reception.
The award was given to the organization in part for: "Recognizing 30 years of outstanding contributions, through the field of sport, to Chicago's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities, charities, and service organizations."
Mayor Emanuel also proclaimed June 25, 2011 as PROUD TO RUN DAY IN CHICAGO.
It's not too late to register and help celebrate Proud To Run's 30thanniversary. On June 25 join over 1,000 LGBT runners and walkers in this annual 5K and 10K event that is part of Chicago's Pride Month celebrating LGBT pride.

Proud To Run raises funds to help Chicagoland LGBT health and service organizations. It is presented in association with Frontrunners/Frontwalkers Chicago, Chicago's LGBT running and walking club.
