2020 Race Awards

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.

Photos and Awards

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.

2020 Lions “Run for Hope” 5K

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.
