On April 16, the Volunteer Center of McHenry County will host Illinois' first Human Race in McHenry’s industrial park on Prime Parkway. The Human Race is a collaborative fundraiser to benefit any charity organization which serves McHenry County.
The top fundraising organization will receive a $500 award and the top fundraising individual will receive a $250 award for the organization of his choice.
