Chicago Spring Half Marathon & 5K
The event takes place on May 16, 2027 in Chicago and features road races along the lakefront and parts of the city. The course uses sections of Lake Shore Drive and passes through historic Southside neighborhoods, offering views of the Chicago skyline and the Chicago Museum campus along Lake Michigan.
The event program includes multiple distances and family focused races. The Junior Dash is for children aged two to twelve. The Chicago Spring Kids Run is powered by the Life Time Foundation and focuses on introducing children to activity and healthy habits.
A post race Spring Market Festival follows the finish area and includes a brunch offering, photo opportunities, a beer garden, live music, and a flower planting station where participants can take home a planted bloom. The event also lists volunteer opportunities, packet pickup, a VIP experience, and charity partners as part of the race information.
The Half Marathon Series pairs this spring race with a September Life Time Chicago half to award three medals for completing the two events. Life Time members with six months of Club Access membership receive early registration access for Life Time athletic events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
