Annual Tyler 'Smitty' Smith 5K Race Description

 

This event is a memorial run/walk for Tyler (Smitty) Smith who tragically passed on 9/15/18. Tyler loved competing in races so we are hosting this event to keep Tyler's memory alive and to give back to a community that meant so much to him.
All proceeds will go to the Tyler Smith Memorial Foundation which will fund local high school scholarships and other local charities including police and/or military organizations. 
 
The $35 fee includes the race and a T-shirt. Lunch is not included. Chow Haul Smokehouse will offer lunch for purchase, with 10% of proceeds benefiting the Tyler Smitty Smith Foundation. Join us at the Rochelle VFW from 11 AM–2 PM for raffles, a 50/50 drawing, and a great time honoring Tyler.  More details can be found on our Facebook page: Tyler (Smitty) Smith 5K.
 
 
This is a "no frills" 5K.  Event will be timed but no awards will be given for times.   Race packets can be picked up at Cooper Park Shelter by Kids Ground beginning at 7:30 am.  Race starts at 9am and will be at Atwood Park which is across from Cooper Park.   This event will go on rain or shine. In the event of a cancellation due to conditions beyond our control, we thank you for your donation. 
We will accept sign ups through the day of the event. Strollers are welcome. Due to insurance purposes,  please leave your canine friends at home.  Walk in sign ups can be done at the Rochelle Park District Rec Center Office at 802 Jones Rd in Rochelle.
