Nebraska football fans will forever remember Jack Hoffman's sprint to the end zone in the 2013 Red-White Spring Game.
The then-7-year-old brain cancer patient's dash and ongoing health battle were the impetus to the creation of the Nebraska Football Uplifting Athletes Road Race, which will take place July 16 right outside Memorial Stadium.
A "fun run" will begin at 8 a.m., with a 5K to start at approximately 30 minutes later. The start of both races will be at the Stadium Drive loop just outside the 501 Building on city campus.
Proceeds from race registration will benefit the Nebraska chapter of Uplifting Athletes and its efforts to tackle pediatric brain cancer.
