The Lifescape 4th of July Classic Run/Walk is a race for the ages! This is a race for everyone, whether you are an experienced runner, this is your first race, or you are just looking for a fun event to do with their family. This race is a wonderful way to celebrate our nation and support older adults and adults with disabilities in our community.
Runners have the choice of running an 8k, a 2-mile, or participating in the 1-mile Family Fun Walk. All runners will receive race swag, including finisher medals, stylish one of a kind race T-shirts, and.... FOOD! After the race, all participants are invited to make the short walk to the Downtown Rockford City Pavilion (Where City Market is held). The run includes a Post Run Pancake Breakfast!
