The Quadathon continues with leg 3/4 underway!

The Lincoln Park Juniors are completing a quadathon to raise money for a new quad to replace one that was severely damaged during a training session in the lead up to Youth Nationals.

So far the 1V and 2V 4xs have launch from Dammrich Rowing Center in Skokie, and rowed south to Park 571 in Bridgeport, right through downtown Chicago (~25k). Then, they biked to the Lincoln Park Boat House (~14k). Currently they are doing a 1500-meter paddle on the lagoon. After that, they’ll run 5.5k to the Lathrop Boathouse.

An anonymous donor has pledged to match this week’s donations dollar for dollar up to $5,000 - every donation we receive between now and Sunday will help us take full advantage of this match!! The donation link is below for those on Facebook and in our bio on Instagram!
