Above / One of the most famous Roosters entertained spectators during the West Suburban Irish St. Patrick’s Parade in March. Oh! Naperville loves a parade, volunteers for the Naperville Jaycees and the Last Fling!
The Roosters of the Naperville Jaycees will host two runs on Monday before the Labor Day Parade, the final day of the four-day Last Fling held in downtown Naperville. The 2015 Last Fling will feature many new attractions as the popular end-of-summer family-friendly event celebrates 50 years.
In addition to the 12th Annual Fling Mile, the Rooster 5K will offer runners a choice of one, the other or both competitive events.
Both runs mostly will follow the parade route and end in front of Naperville Central High School.
The 12 Annual Fling Mile ($20 per runner) along with the Fling Challenge starts at 8:45AM along 5th Avenue, near Naperville North High School.
The Rooster 5K ($35 per runner) starts at 9AMÂ at the top of Rotary Hill near the stop light.
Both runs are chip timed and course certified. Entry fee includes commemorative inaugural t-shirt (if entered by Aug. 1, 2015), post-party on Rotary Hill’s Main Stage with overall and age category awards.
