Chicago White Sox introduce Nike+ Rock 'N Run 5K
From press release
June 27, 2007
Chicago Athlete

Registration open now for new July 14 race
On Saturday, July 14, the Chicago White Sox will host more than 5,000 runners at the first ever Nike+ Rock 'N Run 5K race.

The race will kick off 8 a.m. at the site of the former home plate at Old Comiskey Park (Parking Lot B). Participants will then run through a number of Chicago's South Side neighborhoods and close with a spectacular finish inside U.S. Cellular Field. A post-race concert is scheduled inside the ballpark, along with appearances by former players.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Chicago White Sox Charities (CWSC), the organization's philanthropic arm. CWSC provides annual financial, in-kind and emotional support to hundreds of Chicago-based organizations, including those leading the fight against cancer or dedicated to improving the lives of Chicago's youth through education and athletics.

Race registration cost $35 and includes an official Nike Dri-FIT race t- shirt, and a pass into the stadium for a guest to greet runners after they cross the finish line. Registration opens on Monday, June 11 and will be limited to approximately 5,000 participants of all ages. Runners are encouraged to register early to ensure their spot in the race.
