Chicago Women’s Half Marathon participants will receive a 2013 finisher’s medal. Those who registered by May 15 will receive a personalized bib number. Mother-daughter and sister-sister teams are welcome to register and join in the fun together. All registered runners receive an event shirt and participant bag, and are invited to join in a celebratory post-race party featuring great food, music, and sponsor booths. “In preparation for the race, many employees from our Lisle headquarters are actively participating in a Molex training program, developed in support of the Go Red* for Women initiative. We look forward to an exhilarating day with nearly 40 Molex women racing – and welcome other runners to stop by and visit the Molex tent,” said Legge.
