Registration for the 12th annual '5K Run at Lambeau Field' will increase by $5 for both adults and children after July 11.

After July 11, registration fees will increase to $35 for adults and $25 for children.
The event, presented by the Packers and Bellin Health, is a run/walk set for 8 a.m. on Saturday, July 24.
The computer-timed run is highlighted by a neighborhood route that ultimately takes participants into Lambeau Field and around the famed gridiron. The event has a special finish line – the Packers' 'G' painted on turf located in the parking lot.
All participants will receive a bib number and a timing chip along with a Packers' 5K Run t-shirt. The first 2,500 to register will receive a logoed bag. In addition, photos will be taken on the course and will be available at no cost on the Packers 5K Run website.
Former Packers players Dexter McNabb and Bill Schroeder also will take part in the event by running the 5K route with participants.
Back for a seventh year, Back to Football includes the 1K Kids Run, presented by Polaris. Kids 10 years old and younger will have the opportunity to run a "Lambeau Lap" on Friday, July 23, at 6 p.m. Registration for the Kids Run is $10 and all participants will receive a Packers 1K Run t-shirt and the first 1,000 to register will receive a logoed bag.
The Packers are partnering with local charities to raise money at the event. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Volunteer Center of Green Bay, Big Brothers Big Sisters and Preble High School Music/Athletics.
WIXX 101 is serving as the radio partner for the event.
