Registration for the seventh annual '5K Run at Lambeau Field' will increase by $5 for both adults and children after July 10.

After July 10, registration fees will increase to $35 for adults and $25 for children. Mail-in registration forms are available online and in person at Lambeau Field.
The event, presented by the Packers and Bellin Health, is a run/walk set for 8 a.m. on Saturday, July 23.
The computer-timed run is highlighted by a neighborhood route that ultimately takes participants into Lambeau Field and around the famed gridiron. The event has a special finish line – the Packers' 'G' painted on turf located in the parking lot.
All participants will receive a bib number and a timing chip along with a Packers' 5K Run t-shirt and a logoed bag. In addition, photos will be taken on the course and will be available at no cost on the Packers 5K Run website.
Former Packers players Dexter McNabb, Bill Schroeder and Tony Fisher also will take part in the event by running the 5K route with participants.
Back for a fourth year, Back to Football includes the 1K Kids Run, presented by Humana. Kids 10 years old and younger will have the opportunity to run a Lambeau Lap on Friday, July 22, at 6 p.m. Registration for the Kids Run is $10 and all participants will receive a Packers 1K Run t-shirt, a logoed bag and a participant medal.
The Packers are partnering with local charities to raise money at the event. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the American Red Cross, the Volunteer Center of Green Bay and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
WIXX 101 is serving as the radio partner for the event.
The Back to Football Campaign is an effort supported by the Green Bay Packers and Bellin Health, which celebrates the upcoming football season.
