About the 9th Annual Live Like Lukas 5K
This is a charity race, with proceeds directed toward childhood cancer, split between research grants and financial support for families going through treatment. The course runs through Rockford Park, and the start-of-morning pickup window means you can arrive, grab your bib, and be on the line without much waiting around.
Bib pickup opens early on race morning at Rockford Park, closing just before the start. There is no separate pickup the day before, so plan to arrive with a little time to spare.
