Mud Run in Lake Villa Township

The Lindenhurst-Lake Villa Chamber of Commerce held its second annual 5K Mud Run on Saturday at Caboose Park in Lake Villa Township.

The obstacle race ran over the hills and through woods, swamps and ponds. There was a minimum of 12 obstacles on the course, officials said.

There was also a course for children, who are 13 and younger.

Participants received a T-shirt, and there were awards for best time for men and women, muddiest runner and best costume.

Proceeds benefit the chamber's scholarship fund and local service organizations.
