THE COURSE

This is a measured 5K course that will be run with chipped bibs for all participants. The course will begin at Lions Park - Mount Prospect Park District (on a proven 5K course) and run through the nearby neighborhood. Water will be provided on the course and at the end. We will provide snacks and drinks at the end, in the park.

Honor a life that’s been touched by cancer with an honorary sign at our “6th Slice” 5K’s Lemon Honor Line.

• With a $20 donation, you can create a personalized sign that’s decorated with a photo, quote and/or inspirational message.  Dedicate your sign to a loved one who has passed, a survivor, or someone in treatment. All honorary signs will be displayed along our 5K’s Lemon Honor Line—a special area right at the finish line.  
• 
  Each honorary sign is a blank 9”x24” sign with metal posts to stick in the ground.  Decorate your sign however you choose. Be creative! Feel free to use both sides of the sign.  (Please remember this is a family event😊)
