Runners of all ages came out for the four-mile Saw Wee Kee Spring Trail Run on the afternoon of April 16. Oswegoland Park District’s Spring Challenge included walkers and runners. The soft path, with its twists and turns, and ups and downs, makes for a great, all natural run. (All photos by Steven Buyansky/for Chronicle Media)
