The 6th annual Nebraska Football Uplifting Athletes Road Race is scheduled for Sunday, July 15 outside of Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. Sponsored by the Lincoln Track Club, the Nebraska Football Uplifting Athletes Road Race will kick off at 8 a.m. CST and feature both a 5K and 1-mile Fun Run.

The first 1,000 registrants will also be invited to watch an exclusive pre-season Nebraska Football practice in Memorial Stadium which will take place in August, providing registrants a preview of the 2018 Huskers just weeks before the season opener. Each registrant will receive an email with more details about the scrimmage once 1,000 spots are filled and another email with information as the date approaches. If you have any questions about the practice please contact Samantha Cowger at scowger@huskers.com.

The proceeds support the mission of Uplifting Athletes and its charitable programs: Rare Disease Awareness, Rare Disease Research, Uplifting Experiences and Uplifting Leaders. The Nebraska Football Uplifting Athletes Road Race is the signature fundraising event for the student-athlete led Nebraska Chapter in support of its mission to use the platform of college football to inspire the rare disease community with hope through the power of sport.
