This year’s Run For The 97 was officially launched today (Thursday 18 May) by former Liverpool Football Club goalkeeping legend Bruce Grobbelaar.
The ninth annual community legacy fun run takes place in Stanley Park in Liverpool on Saturday 27 May 2023.
Participants are welcome to walk, jog, or run the 5K or 1 Mile distances. Final entries are being taken at https://www.btrliverpool.com/97-5k-event
The event was first staged in 2015 as a positive community legacy event to celebrate and honour the lives of the then 96 Liverpool Football Club fans who lost their lives at Hillsborough on 15 April 1989.
Last year the event was renamed to Run For The 97 to include and honour LFC fan Andrew Devine, who sadly passed away in July 2021. Andrew received life-changing injuries at Hillsborough, he died 32 years after the disaster.
The event also remembers the families of The 97 and the survivors, who have since tirelessly fought for justice with the utmost dignity.
