Race Information
Join Friends of the Chicago River in exploring the North Shore Channel trail and recent river-edge improvements that expand the health and climate resiliency of the Chicago-Calumet River system and support equitable, open river access for all. Run, walk, or roll into your morning at either the timed 5k along the trail or, instead of the race, take a guided nature walk around River and Ronan Parks. Then stick around for the family festival for drinks, snacks, learning, and fun with friends and community partners. Your registration includes entry into the family fest, a commemorative shirt, and free beverage ticket.
