Race Against Cancer 5K at Soldier Field

A longtime reader is organizing a charity run/walk for Cancer in the South Loop:

The Caner is Colorblind campaign is a 6 month grassroots campaign that will be donating proceeds to oncology departments at Children's Memorial and Mt. Sinai. We're holding several events through Nov. 20th, but our next event will be a Race Against Cancer 5K near Soldier Field on August 7th. The details and registration for the event are at http://bit.ly/cancer5k.

We're letting people register in one of two ways: either pay $35 or sign up for a fundraising page and raise at least $250. During the day of the event, registration will take place at the Great Lawn/Sports Event staging area and the run/walk will proceed south on the lake trail.

It's a great cause, so if you're around check it out.
