5k Fun Run x Lake Effect Brewing Company
This event is an untimed 5k fun run on August 30 at Lake Effect Brewing Company in Chicago, presented as part of the 2026 Illinois Brewery Running Series. The route starts and finishes at the brewery taproom and is marked to guide participants through the surrounding neighborhood.
The course is open to traffic and roads are not closed; participants must follow all traffic laws. The event is described as untimed so participants may run, walk, or jog. The organizer notes that routes begin and end at the brewery and that the event will proceed rain or shine, with a plan to gather at the brewery if running is not safe.
Registration includes one craft brew from Lake Effect at the finish and a choice of Brewery Running Series swag, such as a collector’s pint glass or a seasonal item. Registered participants are entered into a prize drawing and have access to post-run music, games, giveaways, and partner items. Ten percent of proceeds support local nonprofits.
Additional event notes state that a valid ID is required for alcohol; participants under 21 are eligible for a nonalcoholic beverage. There is no bag check, and dogs and strollers are allowed with care. The brewery location is 3074 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL 60618.
