A call has been issued to the military and all veterans to join the annual Veterans Day Run. The event is scheduled for Friday, November 10, when runners will proceed to the three Manteno schools, as well as downtown Manteno, with the community remembering and celebrating the day!
Running at an 11-minute mile pace, dressed in battle gear, and carrying patriotic flags for four miles, the runners will be escorted by various military organizations riding in their battlecruisers and military vehicles, along with the Manteno Police Department.
The group will step off promptly on November 10, at 8 a.m., from the Heritage Park parking lot, and proceed to the grade school, and then continue on the rest of the route. For more information, please contact Dan Gerber at the Manteno American Legion or email gerb959@gmail.com.
