Event Overview
The Bubble Run Chicago takes place at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois. This event features a course designed around foam stations where participants encounter colored bubbles at various points throughout the run. After completion, the event continues with a post-race bubble dance party featuring music and foam.
Course and Waves
Participants are released in waves to manage the flow of the course. Once a heat begins, small groups are released every 60-90 seconds. Entry into the start chute is organized on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning those who arrive at the chute earlier will start earlier within their assigned hour-long wave.
Registration Options
There are two main registration types available for participants:
- Value Registration: This includes a race bib, a 2026 limited edition finisher medal, and access to the foam stations and dance party.
- Exclusive VIP Registration: This includes all items from the value registration plus a tour t-shirt, sunglasses, a bubble wand, a headband, a drawstring bag, a silicone wristband, a temporary tattoo, and access to a dedicated VIP check-in.
The event operates a program where an additional registration is donated to local community members and charitable organizations for every registration purchased.

Packet pickup is held at the venue the day before the event. Participants who cannot attend this session may collect their packets on the morning of the run for a mandatory fee.
