Lace up your shoes and get ready to support your local parks at Humboldt Park this July 27th, 2010 at 5:30 for the 1st annual "Run for the parks"!

Proceeds of this 5k fun run and 2k walk will be used to assist The Park People in their support of our parks and improve the Humboldt Park band shell. In addition to helping improve one of Milwaukee's oldest and most beautiful public parks, runners and walkers will receive a T-shirt, goodie bag from our sponsors and refreshments after the race.

The race will be held immediately before the start of the "Chill on the Hill" concert that night and will end in front of the cheering crowd of several thousand neighbors and park supporters! After the race is done relax with other park supporters and enjoy an evening of entertainment, food, drinks and fun!

We hope you'll join us and thousands of other park supporters in Humboldt Park on July 27th at 5:30pm for this unique 5k run/walk! You run, you walk, our parks win!!

Race details such as exact starting location and pre-event information will be sent via email. Please contact the Park People if you have any questions or would like to get information about sponsorship opportunities!
