Greene Farm Barn Race
Around 150 race-goers laced up their running shoes for the Rooted Acoustic Barn Raising 5K and One Mile Dash. The race was put on by the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County in order to raise money for the Greene Farm Barn, which served as the finish line for the race. The forest preserve has been deciding what to do with the barn after it spent $1.1 million stabilizing the structure in 2012.
