The Chicago Parks Foundation is proud to present our 2nd Annual Run for the Parks: 5K Run, Walk or Roll! Sponsored by Banner Wholesale Grocers. Get moving on the Lakefront Trail and join us for a community celebration of our parks! All event registrations include a commemorative t-shirt and post-race party food/beverage ticket. Family-friendly; all ages welcome.
Choose how you will participate:
5K Run, Walk or Roll: A timed out-and-back 5K course starting south of 31st Street Beach and heading south on the Lakefront Trail. The 5K course takes place on the paved pedestrian pathway of the Lakefront Trail. Course suitable only for walkers, runners, and manual wheelchair participants of all paces. Course NOT suited for bicycles, handcycles, or rollerblades. Accessibility guides welcome. All ages welcome.
Everything But the 5K: If you will not be completing the 5K race, we welcome you to enjoy an optional 1-mile guided nature walk along the beautiful Burnham Wildlife Corridor (wood chip path, not suitable for wheels), located just west of the Lakefront Trail 5K course. Guided walks will occur during the 5K race as an alternative activity. A great option for kids, family, and friends who want to support 5K participants. All ages welcome.
Spectators are welcome without registration. Spectators do not have access to the 5K race or the 1-mile walk, and do not receive a t-shirt or food/beverage ticket.
