Established in 1978, the Park Forest Running and Pancake Club (PFRPC) is based in the South Suburbs of Chicago. While the club originated in the far south community of Park Forest, today our members come from more than 25 different communities throughout metropolitan Chicago, as well as Northwest Indiana.
Far from a fair-weather organization, the PFRPC is active all year long -- rain or shine, snow or sleet, heat or humidity -- sponsoring races, weekend recreational runs, speed workouts, training runs, Moon Runs, road trips and just plain social get-togethers. It doesn't matter whether you're a walker, 12-minute miler or a world class runner (we have them all in the club), all are welcomed by the PFRPC.
FYI, The Frog endured the howling wind and the cold and managed to finish that Lakefront 50-mile ultra in 8:23:33. A bit slower than my original goal to run it
It is an awesome race. It, and the 20th Chicago are my all time favorites, miles and miles apart in finishing times, but neck in neck in pure joy. Put New
