More than 100 volunteers provide the expertise and supervision necessary to assure a memorable experience for all participants. Fifteen committee members from area park districts including Addison, Bolingbrook, Dundee, Glen Ellyn, Golf Main, Arlington Heights, Park Ridge, Rolling Meadows, St. Charles, and Wheaton work throughout the year to organize the event. Many other park districts also lend their support. The park districts' involvement and input aid in the professionalism of the events. Both events more than doubled in size.
Participants come back every year to see old friends and meet new competitors.
Although the events are enjoyed by all, the competitive spirit is strong. The participants challenge others as well as themselves. As the events come to an end, everyone is welcome to celebrate another successful year at the annual Afterbash. The Afterbash is held at a local banquet hall and includes dinner, entertainment, music for dancing and door prizes. It is a great way to share in the fellowship of the Olympics.
