Sunday was an amazing day at the 4th Annual Great Lakes Loons Pennant Race / Live Earth Run for Water at the Loons Stadium. Olympic Gold Medalist, Carl Lewis opened the race firing the starting gun, and then walked with the “Girls on the Run”, a non-profit prevention program encouraging preteen girls to develop self-respect and a healthy lifestyle through running. Over 1,000 runners showed up for the event, which was loaded with many booths displaying information about water.
