Dim Sum and Then Some The Uptown 5K/10K and Kids Dash
Dim Sum and Then Some is a community running event in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago at 1016 W Argyle St. The event includes in-person 5K and 10K races, a Kids Dash, and virtual 5K and 10K options that can be completed anywhere. Participants receive a Year of the Horse race shirt, a horse inspired finisher medal, a race bib, bubble tea, and dim sum.
The event incorporates cultural elements at the start and finish.
