EVENT DETAILS

MELTFEST is a family friendly festival to celebrate the melting away of winter and the melting together of the community. This will be the 3rd Annual MELTFEST 5K which is held the first Saturday in Spring (this year it is March 26, 2016) and will take participants through three different wards of Rockford, Illinois and across the beautiful Morgan Street Bridge.  The race kicks off at 10:00 a.m. and is the start to a day full of post race activities that should have something for everyone (ice skating, trolley rides, vendors, live music, and more).  In addition, a free kids run will follow the adult 5K.

Five dollars ($5) from every participant will be donated to Rock House Kids (www.rockhousekids.org | the selected charity for this year's event).  In addition, all participants will receive a commemorative event shirt.
