Hometown Half Marathon Chicago
The event takes place in Chicago, IL 60640 and offers multiple in-person and virtual participation options on 05/08/2027. Race day features several distances and family-focused activities.
Registrations for most distances include a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal. The Kid's Dash is untimed for ages 10 and under and includes a mini bib, youth-sized shirt, and a kids' medal; a child may run the dash on race day without taking the swag. The Virtual Run includes a digital bib, event shirt, finisher medal, and packet shipping; mailed packets ship the Wednesday after the race and virtual participants can upload times and photos starting the day of the event.
Chip-timing with live results and awards is provided for some distances, including the 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon. Pacers are provided for the Half Marathon. Free race photos and finish-line treats are listed as part of the event amenities.
Additional options include a Volunteer and Run entry, which asks volunteers to arrive 30 minutes before packet pickup and then allows them to run any distance, and a Running Buddy Half Marathon entry that requires prior approval. To guarantee a shirt, registrations should be completed by midnight on the Thursday two weeks before race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
