Strike Out ALS 5K July 12, 2011

The Strike Out ALS 5K is an exciting race at U.S. Cellular Field that features a rare opportunity to “run the bases” and complete a lap around the ballpark’s warning track. New this year, after the race runners can celebrate with family, friends and White Sox fans at a spectacular party featuring the MLB All-Star Game under the lights of U.S. Cellular Field. The concession stands will be open and the game will be broadcast on the Jumbotron. Admission to the post-race party is free for runners. Donations will be accepted at the gate for non-runners.

To register in advance, visit http://www.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=456525. Cost is $35 in advance, $40 on the day-of. Runners are encouraged, but not obligated, to raise a minimum of $90 on behalf of the Les Turner ALS Foundation. Every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Each Strike Out ALS 5K participant will receive a T-shirt.
