Jeanne Wilder cheered runners in the Ballantrae neighborhood, where youngster Roman Ford handed out cups of water at the Flossmoor Montessori School water station. Steve and Donna Ramsey raised glasses of mimosas in toasts as runners passed their Heather Hill Crescent home.
They represent the range of generations and approaches as the Flossmoor community again came together to celebrate the athletes participating in the third Hidden Gem Half Marathon in Flossmoor on Saturday, Sept. 10.
Race organizer Sam Cutrara said the event was more successful than the last two "and they were big hits."
