Planning for the Naperville Jaycees Last Fling has been ongoing for months. The Fling Mile, originally scheduled to start at 8:45 a.m. has been moved back to 9:15 a.m. The additional time will ensure proper set up of the chip timer. The Last Fling Executive Committee regrets any inconvenience this may cause.
Frank E’s Fling Mile will now begin at 9:15 a.m. in Downtown Naperville south of the intersection of Main and Jefferson (217 S Main Street). The one mile out and back race begins and ends on Main Street, is great for all ages and strollers are permitted. Frank E.’s Fling Mile is chip timed and overall and age category winners will be announced after the race.
1st: Golden Mustard Medal
2nd: Silver Relish Medal
3rd: Bronze Ketchup Medal

Naperville Jaycees
The Naperville Jaycees is a not-for-profit service organization with more than 100 young people dedicated to providing Naperville area residents with the opportunity to better themselves and to grow personally and professionally while giving through community service and fundraising efforts. Annual events include the Mardi Gras Fundraising Event, Food Giving, Easter Egg Hunt and countless other worthwhile projects that positively impact the community. The group also organizes and staffs the Last Fling in close cooperation with the City of Naperville, the Naperville Park District, numerous Naperville community organizations and hundreds of volunteers. Proceeds from the Last Fling are given to other nonprofit organizations in the community and throughout DuPage County. Over the past two decades, the Naperville Jaycees have raised and donated more than two million dollars to various organizations in the surrounding communities. Through recent partnership with the Naperville Chamber of Commerce Young Professional Network, dues for both organizations are now available at a Dual Membership Rate. Monthly Naperville Jaycee meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at Judd Kendall VFW located at 908 West Jackson Avenue in Naperville.
