What a year it has been! We hope you and your loved ones are doing well. We can’t express enough just how much we miss seeing your smiling faces cross our finish lines! We never imagined we would go a full year without in person events but here we are, trying to make the best of the circumstances, patiently waiting to get back out there.
Due to the current Phase IV restrictions in place in Chicago, events larger than 100 people are not permitted to take place. Planning an in-person event like the Chicago Spring Half Marathon & 10K takes many months of advance planning and due to the uncertainty of when events can return we will be switching from in-person to virtual.
Keep the spirit of our event alive and join us for the Virtual Chicago Spring Half Marathon & 10K this May. With the flexibility of a virtual event, our goal is to bring the full race experience and motivation to you, wherever you are!
If you’re in Chicago or in many other parts of the country stuck inside due to the heaps of snow and bitter cold, you’re probably daydreaming of spring flowers, warmer temps, lakefront breezes and simply running outside! Put a spring race on your calendar and we’ll give you the motivation we need to unthaw from winter, come out of hibernation and start hitting the pavement again.
Race Weekend: May 20 – 23, 2021.
