BTR Liverpool are the leading independent organisation for creating, managing and delivering headline running events across the Liverpool City Region.
We strive to inspire, motivate and encourage the local running community - from beginners taking part in the first organised event, through to experienced runners chasing a personal best. BTR events are for everyone.
Run for the 97
The Run For The 97 5K was established in 2015 to act as a positive legacy event after a dedicated endurance team had been running between Liverpool and Sheffield to remember the 97 people who lost their lives at Hillsborough in 1989. The event also remembers the families of The 97 and the survivors, who have tirelessly fought for justice with the utmost dignity.
The 5K fun run has attracted amazing support from across the globe with Reds fans from as far away as America and Australia and all points in between taking part. The introduction of the virtual element means that supporters from across the world can now join in wherever they are. The 5K run itself takes place in Stanley Park and follows a course that passes between Anfield and Goodison Park taking in the eternal flame at Anfield where many participants stop and pause for a moment as a show of respect and remembrance.
As much as the day is about remembering it is also about enjoying the run, gathering together and raising funds for four amazing charities who help, engage and support deserving causes across Merseyside. They are the LFC Foundation, 23 Foundation and Stanley Park C.I.C. All four charities play key roles in the local community and the Run For The 97 5K is delighted to have on board as ambassadors for the event.
The event date is always the final weekend of the Premier League football season so there is guaranteed use of Stanley Park on the Saturday with all final day fixtures being played the following day at 3.00pm.
