Rally for Life assembles runners and walkers at Werner Park in Papillion, Nebraska, for a September 5K run/walk focused on organ, tissue, and eye donation. The event unites donor families, transplant recipients, living donors, and supporters. It offers timed 5K results for those seeking a race clock and a walk-friendly setup for individuals supporting the cause. Its objective is clear: generate support and awareness for Americans awaiting lifesaving transplants.
The course begins at Werner Park. The day includes opening ceremonies, the 5K, and an awards ceremony. Participants can register individually or as teams, with awards for the largest and fastest teams, plus individual timed runners. The event emphasizes honoring individuals involved with donation: custom hero signs can feature a donor or recipient's name, photo, and a brief message, and matching donor hero or recipient buttons can be worn and kept. Awards recognize overall male and female finishers, age-group winners, recipient-category finishers, and living-donor-category finishers. Families can also enjoy kids' activities in the Family Fun Zone, along with post-run snacks and drinks.
