The Friends of Potawatomi State Park have a lot of projects they would like to take on in the coming months, and you can help them knock some of those out one mile at a time. The group will host its annual Run Wild on October 12th with a quarter-marathon and 5K for the big kids and the Smokey Bear Fun Run for the little ones. The event has funded several initiatives over the years, including a park naturalist, invasive species monitoring, improvements for campsite facilities, resurfacing playground areas, and more. According to co-race director Carol Mulinix and Friends of Potawatomi State Park President Traci Bournoville, the projects they tackle begin at the race's start line.
