Run For The 97 5K
Run For The 97 5K is a 5K road race held in Liverpool, United Kingdom, in May. The route begins at the heart of Stanley Park and follows its paths for roughly the first two kilometres. The route then leaves the park and loops around its outside edge, passing Goodison Park, Priory Road and Arkles Lane on the way towards Anfield.
Runners pass the Eternal Flame on Anfield Road before heading back into Stanley Park for the finish. The course therefore mixes park paths with pavements on the surrounding streets.
The event remembers the 97 Liverpool supporters who died in the Hillsborough disaster and recognises the survivors and families who campaigned for justice. A shorter one-mile fun run runs alongside the 5K, and walkers, joggers and runners are all welcome. Entrants do not need to support Liverpool.
