With the pop of a starting gun, about 760 runners took off down Stadium Drive near Memorial Stadium early July 17, showing support for children suffering from brain cancer.
Cheering alongside them were Husker football players, cheerleaders, and coaches. A cluster of jersey-wearers and pompom-wavers were waiting at the finish line to shake the hands of tired finishers.
Participants in the 10th annual Nebraska Football Road Race on Sunday laced up at 8 a.m. for the mile fun run and 8:30 for the 5-kilometer runs. Afterward, runners offered their tees and caps for their favorite players to sign.
All registration fees went directly to pediatric brain cancer research at the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The event honors a longstanding relationship with Team Jack Foundation — an organization that seeks to find a cure for pediatric brain cancer.
