We still have 34 race awards that need to be picked up. If you took part in the 2020 Lions Run for Hope 5K, please check the category results page to see if you won an age group award. Due to the pandemic, the Stickney-Forest View Public Library District will not be letting people in the building, but you can still pick up your award using curbside pickup. Call 708-749-1050 to let them know when you would be coming.
Due to a WordPress technical glitch it looked like all of our race photos had uploaded, but if you clicked on a thumbnail it probably didn’t work. But that glitch has been corrected, so we hope you check out the 2020 Race Gallery of photos. Also, our rapid-fire finish line photographs make great animated GIFs.
The 2020 Race Gallery has been added to the race website. Select it from the menu to view all the race photos.
The age group awards are available for pick-up at the Stickney-Forest View Public Library, located at 6800 W. 43rd Street in Stickney, Illinois. Please call (708) 749-1050 to schedule a time to pick up your award so we don’t have a large number of people arriving at the same time. You must wear a mask to pick up your award at the Library.
We are gathering all the 2020 race photos and will have them posted to the website soon. We will announce it on our Facebook page when they are posted, too. Thanks again for coming out!
Thank you to everyone who came out to day’s Lions Run for Hope 5K. You can use this link to find your race time or to log your virtual 5K race time.
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, many of our traditional fundraising opportunities like candy sales and pancake breakfasts are not possible. But the virtual 5K race is something anyone can do, anywhere, and anytime. You choose the route and you choose when you do it. If you have been considering whether or not to take part in our virtual 5K, please remember that this will be one of our only sources of income that we use to provide the many services for our community. And the in-person race will be conducted following social distancing guidelines if you would like to join us on the actual race day in Stickney. Thank you.
As of this time , all indications from local officials are that we will be able to hold this event as planned on Sunday, Sept. 27th. This pandemic has had a impact on all us as well as the two charities that this race supports.
We thank everyone for your continued support of our run and hope to see you again this year. This year we are offering two options of participation. Join us for our 5K run/walk in person or participate virtually.
A virtual run/walk, is a real run/walk but on your terms: You choose the course and when you start. You may complete a 5k run/walk or participate any way that moves you.
Our number one goal is everyone’s safety. If the state guidelines change, any of the listed procedures are subject to change without notice. We have safety precautions in place to protect you and our many volunteers.
We will be starting the walkers a few minutes after the runners to help with social distancing. For all those who are concerned about their times, this is a chip-timed event so your start time is when you cross the timing pad.
Overall Awards will be handed out at the event.
Age group awards may be shifted to pickup at the Stickney-Forest View Public Library at a later date during the week.
(this will be a race week decision )
