CVLS benefit Race Judicata slated July 30

Spring is here after an unfriendly winter, and the weather is more conducive to getting in shape for the annual Race Judicata of the Chicago Volunteer Legal Services Foundation.

The chip-timed 5K run/walk will be held Thursday, July 30, along the lakefront, emanating from Lower Hutchinson Field at Columbus and Balbo Drives. Runners will start at 6:30 p.m., and walkers at 6:45 p.m. A party and awards will conclude the competition.
