Huskers Run For Pediatric Brain Cancer Research

Approximately 750 participants, the second-most for this event, took part in the annual Nebraska Football Road Race on Father's Day morning. The event was presented by the Lincoln Track Club and all proceeds will go directly to pediatric brain cancer research at the Buffet Cancer Center at UNMC.

Members of the Cornhusker football team were on hand to show their support for the cause and to cheer on the runners during both the one-mile fun run and the main event 5k race. The leadership team for this year's Road Race included Adrian Martinez, Ryan Schommer, Austin Allen and Thomas Fidone.
