September 16

The North Liberty Steering Committee of the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce presents the 9th annual North Liberty Fun Run/Walk to be held on Sunday, September 16. The event features a 5k route and children’s race. The race starts at 650 W. Cherry Street near the gazebo at Liberty Centre. Registration begins at 8:15 a.m with the children’s race beginning at 9 a.m. followed by the 5k at 9:15 a.m.
Returning from the 2011 Run is the competition for the Fast Feet Firefighting Trophy. The North Liberty Fire Department has issued a friendly challenge to surrounding fire departments to participate in the Fun Run in full firefighting gear. Firefighters who do so race FREE. Participants are encouraged to be creative with their race day gear!
Each year, the Iowa City Area Chamber’s North Liberty Steering Committee donates back to the North Liberty community through a worthy organization. This year the Committee will be supporting the American Heart Association. As in past years, the Committee will also award $100 to the North Liberty school that recruits the most participants.
Pre-registration ends September 6 and includes a free event T-shirt. After September 6, participants should register the day of the event. Since a Fun Run T-shirt will not be available on the day of the race, pre-registration is encouraged. To register online please visit www.iowacityarea.com. You may also download a registration form and mail it to:

Prizes will be awarded for the fastest male and female runners as well as all participants in costume. Pre-registration is $10 per person by September 6 and $15 on the day of the race. Children under the age of 12 race for free, but if the runner would like a T-shirt, it must be purchased for $5 no later than 5p.m. on September 6. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
