CNB Oak Forest Fleadh 5K
Saturday, March 2, 2019 at 8:30am
It's our 10th Anniversary and we've decided to make some changes to make the Annual CNB Oak Forest Fleadh 5k even better! Fleadh (pronounced flah) is gaelic for festival, and this day is centered around FITNESS, FAMILY AND FUN. We have certified a new 5k course to bring our runners into the heart of the day's celebration. The course starts and finishes at 155th Street between Cicero Avenue and Kilpatrick (15501 S. Kilpatrick the Community Center). We will be running in the local neighborhood as well as the challenging Cicero Avenue. Your friends and family can cheer you on at one of several viewing stations along Cicero Avenue. We also hope you will stay for the family parade on Cicero Avenue at 11 a.m. All Fleadh 5K participants will receive a race t-shirt and goody bag. The Fleadh 5K is certified by the USATF.
