Chicago Spring Half Marathon & 5K
The Life Time Chicago Spring Half Marathon & 5K is scheduled for May 23, 2027 in Chicago. The course runs along the lakefront and includes Lake Shore Drive, sections through historic Southside neighborhoods, and views of the Chicago skyline and the Museum Campus.
The event features multiple distances:
- Half Marathon
- 5K
- Junior Dash (ages 2 to 12)
- Chicago Spring Kids Run powered by the Life Time Foundation
Race day includes a Spring Market Festival after the finish with brunch, photo opportunities, a beer garden, live music, and a flower planting station where participants can take home a planted bloom. The Kids Run is presented by the Life Time Foundation and is described as an initiative to support healthy habits and confidence in children.
The event is part of a Half Marathon Series that pairs this spring race with a September Chicago Half; completing both races earns three medals for two events. Life Time members with six months of Club-Access Membership receive early access to event registration or guaranteed entry in certain lotteries.
