There is no cost/fee for the Walk portion of the event. However since this one of the primary ways Life Network raises funds to support our mission, we encourage people to participate by raising funds or sponsoring themselves.
There is a minimum $25 sponsorship (per runner) required to participate in the 5K. Sponsorship increases to $50 (per runner) for those who register on June 3, the day of the event. Every runner in the 5K must register separately.
This is not an official 5K – we have done our best with the course and keeping an accurate measurement of distance, but the course is not official. The 5K will be a self-timed event. No medals will be awarded, but prizes (including t-shirts) will be given to fundraising walkers/runners based on their individual fundraising. The 5K Fun Run will begin at 8am on Saturday, June 3. The event is held at Memorial Park – which is located at the intersection of Pikes Peak Ave and Union Blvd. The event site is on the northeast side of Prospect Lake. There are numerous parking lots surrounding the area.
This event is welcome to dogs. We ask that you abide by city park regulations (dogs on leash, picking up after them). Due to the size of the event, we also ask that you use your discretion and bring only friendly dogs that behave well around large groups of people.
There is no fee for the Kid’s Race. You can sign up your little one (between the ages of 3 and 9 years old) at the event at Memorial Park when you arrive. The Kid’s Race will begin promptly at 9am.
Check in at the Volunteer Check-In Tent and you’ll be signed in, given your name badge and directed where to go. We encourage you to allow yourself a little extra time for parking and check in. Thank you for choosing to serve with us at this event!
Everyone who raises at least $150 will earn this year’s shirt! All volunteers and Ambassadors will also receive this year’s shirt as a thank you. If at all possible, we ask those that are have earned a shirt or those who are volunteering to just take one t-shirt. Prior year’s shirts may be made available for $10 at the Prize Tent.
All activities (scavenger hunt, cotton candy, duck pond, face paint, balloons…) are all free of charge. We urge you to accompany your little ones for their safety.
As you arrive at Memorial Park, please be sure to check in at the yellow and white Check-In canopies when you arrive so that your pledge sheets can be processed and your prizes can be awarded! We will have a print-out of all funds raised online as of noon on Friday, so you will not need to print out your online fundraising page. Be sure to arrive early so you can get checked in with plenty of time before your scheduled Walk time block. Remember to bring all cash and checks you’ve collected with you.
If you choose to walk on your own, all pledge sheets, checks and other materials may be dropped off during business hours or mailed to the main Life Network office at 3700 Galley Road, Colorado Springs, CO, 80909. If you have any questions at all, please reach out to our Events Team at adwire@elifenetwork.com

Rain or shine we’ll be at Memorial Park!
