For anyone who might be interested...

Rundown Alzheimer’s will be a race that gives athletes a unique perspective of U.S. Cellular Field. The event will take place on July 28, 2009. The course will be a 2 mile fun run starting with 6 laps around the concourse highlighting the panoramic view of the playing field. Runners will then get an intimate feel for the park by climbing the lower deck. Lastly, runners will have the opportunity to live out their dream and run a lap around the warning track of U.S. Cellular Field. Former Chicago White Sox Player Ron Kittle will start the event and give each runner sentimental memory of their involvement in defeating Alzheimer’s disease.

In order to keep the momentum of the event going, a post - race party put on by the U2 Tribute Band, Elevation will start at 8pm. Elevation will have the opportunity to play on the White Sox Dugout and under the lights of U.S. Cellular Field. The night will be complete with raffle prizes donated by the Chicago White Sox Charities, as well as having the concession stands open. Parking for this event will be free, and the exact lot will be determined closer to the event.

The Chicago White Sox Charity has also offered to have the top 5 fundraisers of this event honored at a post game event with an on field recognition and a picture with a current White Sox Player before a game.
