Countdown to race day

Saturday wellness events

The newest addition to Chicago’s premier racing portfolio, the Bank of America Chicago 13.1, will offer a unique experience, encouraging runners to reimagine what a running event can be in Chicago. As a part of the festivities, we’re working with West Side residents to introduce wellness-based activities to the race weekend experience. Events include a 1.31-Mile Wellness Walk and a free track and field clinic presented in partnership with USA Track & Field (USATF).

The Wellness Walk and RunJumpThrow clinic will take place in the south section of Garfield Park. The Wellness Walk will kick off near the Garfield Park Bandshell south of Madison Street and the RunJumpThrow clinic will take place on the turf soccer and football field near South Hamlin Boulevard and West Jackson Boulevard.
