If you are a motorcycle enthusiast, age 18 or older, you are invited on a scenic, colorful ride to raise money for Marklund, a not-for-profit committed to enriching the lives of those with special healthcare needs by honoring the unique purpose of each individual.
The Marklund Motorcycle Run will take place at Saturday, Oct. 24. Registration opens at 9:30 a.m., and the run begins at 10:30 a.m. Motorcyclists and passengers will gather at Marklund’s Hyde Center, 1S450 Wyatt Dr., Geneva.
The picturesque course, beginning at Marklund, has stops at:
- Old Starks Tavern, 43W478 IL Rt. 72, Hampshire,
- Hink’s Bar, 123 S. California St., Sycamore,
- Brown Pub, 200 Somonauk Rd., Hinckley, and
- Suzy’s, 4353 Tuma Rd., Yorkville. Free pizza will be served.
“The fall colors will be at their peak,” said Stevie Armbruster, Marklund’s development coordinator. “Anyone who has a motorcycle can have a wonderful ride and, at the same time, raise needed funds for Marklund.”
The event is a traditional poker run. One playing card per bike will be distributed at each stop, and the rider with the best hand at the end of the run will win a prize.
Drivers age 18 and over are welcome to sign up. The registration fee is $15 per rider and $10 per passenger. For more information please contact Stevie Armbruster at 630-593-5473 or at sarmbruster@marklund.org.
