Oct. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Lockport, IL, September 30, 2011 - It's a new way to see the Autobahn Country Club of Joliet while raising funds to support the Will County Senior Services and Meals on Wheels.  On Saturday, November 19th, the picturesque road racing circuit at Autobahn will host the Home Helpers Autobahn 5k Plus Run/Walk event. Proceeds will benefit local seniors and helps to assure the Meals on Wheels program continues in the area.

"Last year, the Will County Meals on Wheels delivered over 90,000 meals to elderly persons in our county. Currently, the program has a waiting list of around 300 people," points out Ed Kerfin, president of Home Helpers / Lockport and sponsor of the event.

"Our business is all about preserving an individual's independence and 'Meals on Wheels' contributes greatly to that goal, as does services provided by Will County Senior Services. This event is all about community helping community."

The Run/Walk event will step off at 9 a.m. on Saturday, November 19th at the Autobahn Country Club located at 3795 South Patterson Road in Joliet. The course will follow the Autobahn's entire road racing circuit, which is a total of 3.56 miles.  

"Autobahn's 350 acre facility regularly hosts a variety of exciting motorsports events, but now you can experience it as a runner or walker while supporting services for our local seniors," says Mark Basso, founder and president of Autobahn.  "If you are not a runner or walker, we have plenty of room for spectators to cheer on the participants."

There will be awards for first, second and third place for both men and women in 15 different age group categories.  The award ceremony will take place immediately following the event.  

The entry fee for pre-registration is $30 and the first 500 registrants will receive a free runner's t-shirt.  Participants can pre-register at www.signmeup.com, keyword Home Helpers.
