Welcome to Team LAAF HQ! Team LAAF HQ is the place to visit for all of your race day information. Team LAAF was created for walkers
and runners to share in the journey towards the cure for brain cancer.
Together, we create awareness and hope to inspire others to make a difference.
Team LAAF's motto is to live, love, laaf and RUN! LIVE: We run for Life! and to save the lives of those with brain cancer. As a Team LAAF member, we know that all things are possible and share life's journey with the brain cancer patient. We share the hard road, a courageous battle, strength and perseverance, the will to overcome great obstacles and the hope that is needed to reach unimaginable goals. When a Team LAAF member steps across the finish line, they experience a moment of limitless possibilities! Ones that lead us to imagine the cure for brain cancer! LOVE: We run for Love! for the love of those fighting the battle and for those that have lost the battle - we run in their place and continue the fight! LAAF: We run for LAAF! By joining a run or walk and wearing our LAAF race bibs and t-shirts - we are creating a strong presence in the community. There is power in numbers and together we are increasing awareness of those untouched by brain cancer. By increasing the communities knowledge of our cause - we are able to reach even more people, which in turn will raise more funds to make a difference in the future of brain cancer patients. RUN: We run to Run - because it's fun! We hope you join our mission!

About the Race This year LAAF has partnered with the Des Plaines Park District to run/walk in the 'CHASE TO THE TASTE' 5K. This timed event winds through the historic, closed-off streets of downtown Des Plaines. It ends with a wonderful award ceremony to recognize runners with the top race times in different categories. LAAF will also award the top fundraising individual AND the top fundraising TEAM. Runners will receive race t-shirts, goody bags, prizes and healthy snacks, juice and water. We are so excited to be the very first Participating Charity in the 2nd Annual Chase to the Taste 5K RUN/WALK, and to work along side the Park District to make this an exciting event for all! Can't wait to see you at the race!! The event was named 'Chase to the Taste' because runners are 'chasing' each other on a 3.1 Mile course to the Taste of Des Plaines. At the 'Taste' enjoy entertainment, arts & crafts, food, a health expo, kids activities and lots of fun!
