It's a Perfect Day for a Marathon
Runners will be coming through Geneva all the way until 1 p.m. Old Mill Park and Island Park are good places to root on your favorites—or just people in general.
The Fox Valley Marathon could not have asked for a more beautiful day.
Runners are racing through Geneva right now, and one of the best places to view is Island Park and Old Mill Park.

Steve Laduzinsky is here with the Geneva lacrosse team, giving volunteer hours for the high school and promoting lacrosse. The team came out in the morning, even though they have a game at noon in Naperville.
"We like to show we support the community," Laduzinsky said. "We definitely want to become a school sport and we think this will help us. We're getting a lot more popularity with fans and a lot more kids are joining."
