RFTL 5K - CHICAGO

Run For Their Lives 5K Walk/Run is a 5k dedicated to bringing awareness to the very real issue of human trafficking that affects not only the world, but our nation and community as well. Last year we had 322 runners and almost 60 volunteers that helped to make last year a huge success. Each year we are expecting it to be bigger and better and we are excited to make each and every one of you a part of this event.

The starting and finish lines will be located at Firemen's Park where there will be a registration table to pick up your complimentary event T-shirt and swag bag with each confirmed registration. Early packet pick-up will be available the day before the race from noon to 6:00PM at Second Place Church (address is below).

The 5k will start immediately following the Kid's Dash which will take place at 8:00AM. The route is 3.2 miles over a flat, road surface that includes a turn around point at mile 1.6.

At the conclusion of the race there will be refreshments and a snack for all of those who participated. We will also have live music again this year that will be located near the finish line for some extra musical motivation.

Each of the last two years we have had a HUGE cheering section so that when you reach the last little bit of the route, you see the finish line and a large group of supportive volunteers and spectators that give you an exceeding amount of motivation to cross that finish line.

Whether your motivation is to support this great cause, get back in shape, or try to beat your personal record, there is plenty to gain from being a part of this event. The relationships, as well, that you gain while attending this race with other runners or volunteers or spectators will prove to be amazing and even for some, life changing.

We look forward to seeing you on race day! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the race director.

Thank you,

The KID's DASH is free for those children who participate and last year was our first year doing it which turned out to be a huge success and a ton of fun for both the children and the parents alike.
