    In the 1980's the Park Forest Running and Pancake Club held their annual progressive marathon by adding up four separate "races" with the Park Forest Scenic 10 to have a Marathon time.

    In keeping with that tradition, we will be hosting a series of "races" at the Vollmer Trails, then adding those times to your finish time at the Flossmoor Hidden Gem Half Marathon.

    Come to the Flossmoor Entrance of the Vollmer Trail and run a 3.275 mile race four times.

    Dates will be published soon.

    After the Hidden Gem, we will tabulate the results and award the top three finishers. If there are enough participants, we will award age group awards.
