Run Like a Rockstar is a brand-new 5K taking over downtown Rock Island this August. Join us Friday, August 14 at 6:30 PM for a high-energy run along the Great River Trail, featuring an 80's themed Afterparty in Arts Alley x Icons Martini Bar. Please note – this is a FUN RUN, not a chip-timed event.
Runners of all paces are invited to dress as their favorite music icon and hit the course with plenty of rockstar energy. Cash prizes will be awarded for the best music-inspired costumes, so bring the spandex, big hair, glow sticks, and stage presence.
Register today to guarantee your official race shirt, then celebrate your finish at the free Run Like a Rockstar Afterparty in Arts Alley.
From the riverfront to the finish line, Rock Island moves you.
A portion of the proceeds will support the QC Rock Academy.
