Dozens of Elvis look-a-likes flocked through Lincoln Park Saturday night at the annual "Running of the Elvii" at the Elvis is Alive 5K.

The fun run began at 6 p.m. on August 11 and was followed by a post- race concert with performances by an Elvis impersonator and local singer/songwriter Alice Peacock.

The King starts in his rightful place--the front of the pack--thanks to the all-Elvis start corral.

The first-place Elvis finisher, Andy Baumgartner. Jeff Hojnacki (not pictured) won overall.

Friends and family came to Lincoln Park to cheer on runners at the finish line and enjoy the post-race concert.

Elvis is Alive! He performed the classics at the post-race festival.

Judy Ciesla, Mary Wright, Ron Wright and Greg Else all dressed in their best Elvis garb for the race. The sideburns are as itchy as the look, they said.

Sarah Shaner and Tony Marino. Marino dressed as Elvis in his later years.

Tristan, 8, won the costume contest.
