The event, presented by the Packers and Bellin Health, is a run/walk set for 8 a.m. on Saturday, July 16.
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 tech shirt. 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, Bill Schroeder and Jarrett Bush also will take part in the event by running the 5K route with participants.
Back to Football also includes the Packers 1K Kids Run presented by Polaris. Kids 10 years old and younger will have the opportunity to run a Lambeau Lap on Friday, July 15, at 6:30 p.m. Registration for the Kids Run is $10 and all participants will receive a Packers 1K Run t-shirt, a logoed bag and a participant medal. Registration is available at packers.com/fans/packers-1k-kids-run.
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.
