A three-day health and wellness festival will culminate with the race designed to showcase the city takes place on Friday, June 3 through Sunday, June 5.

Runners looking to enhance their race experience can make their miles more meaningful by running on behalf of a charity. The event’s official Charity Program features six charity partners, each with a focus on youth and community development in Chicago. The goal of the program is to provide funds to support causes that align with the event’s vision of bettering the communities where we live, work, and run. Runners who sign up with a charity team will be required to fundraise a minimum of $500 for the charity.
The registration fee for the inaugural event is $95 and will increase to $115 in the weeks leading up to the race.
