Packers 5K Run presented by UW Health at Lambeau Field nears registration deadline with discounted rate ending July 8
The Packers say discounted entry for the 17th annual event runs out July 8, then fees rise for both adults and children.
Registration is nearly closed for discounted entries to the 17th Annual Packers 5K Run presented by UW Health at Lambeau Field. The Green Bay Packers announced that the lower rates will be available only through July 8, after which registration will increase by $5 for both adults and children.
For adults, the discounted price is $30, while children age 12 and younger can register for $20. After July 8, the Packers indicate the adult registration fee will rise to $35 and the children’s fee will increase to $25. The team is encouraging participants to register online through the Packers 5K Run website before the deadline to lock in the lower price.
The 5K itself is scheduled for Saturday, July 25 at 8 a.m. in and around Lambeau Field. The event is described as a family-friendly run/walk that weaves through neighborhood streets, taking runners and walkers past Titletown before continuing toward the stadium and looping around the iconic field.
Organizers say the course includes a distinctive finish, marked by the Packers’ “G” painted on turf in the parking lot of the historic stadium. Each participant is expected to receive a bib number and a timing chip, along with a Packers 5K Run tech shirt.
The weekend package also includes participation extras beyond the race itself. The Packers say photos will be taken on the course and made available at no additional cost on the Packers 5K Run website. The team also positions the event as part of getting fans ready for the football season, using the run as an early-season gathering point for the community around Lambeau.
A separate event is planned the day before for younger participants. The Packers say the Packers 1K Kids Run presented by CareSource is set for Friday, July 24 at 6 p.m., with children age 10 and younger eligible to run a “Lambeau Lap.” Registration for the kids event is listed at $10, and each participant will receive a Packers Kids Run T-shirt and a logoed bag.
The Packers also framed the races as a local charity platform. The team says it is partnering with area organizations, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Volunteer Center of Brown County and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Wisconsin.
With the fee increase scheduled for July 8, the immediate thing to watch is whether the remaining discounted spots draw steady last-minute interest from local runners, families, and Packers fans. The broader watch point is how the event continues to combine stadium pageantry with youth participation and community fundraising as another pre-season tradition at Lambeau Field.
Why It Matters
- Beyond being a fan event, the Packers’ 5K helps keep Lambeau’s offseason presence active, reinforcing community ties ahead of the football calendar.
- The tiered pricing window creates a clear cutoff that can affect participation numbers and the overall turnout for both the 5K and the Kids Run.
- Including a children’s race strengthens youth involvement and creates a multi-generation game-day atmosphere centered on Lambeau Field.
