Miles Per Hour Run

The Miles Per Hour Run is an indoor one-hour running event held through the Chicago Auto Show at McCormick Place in Chicago. Participants run laps inside the exhibition halls and attempt to cover as much distance as possible within 60 minutes.

The loop passes the auto show floor, crosses the Grand Concourse skybridge with views of the Chicago skyline, and runs alongside the Lakeside Center windows with views of Lake Michigan. The course includes long straightaways, tighter zig-zag sections, and an incline where runners cross the indoor bridge over Lake Shore Drive. Mile markers are posted each mile and aid stations provide water and Gatorade Endurance at multiple points. Gear check is available and results are posted live with lookup kiosks onsite.

Event amenities include a finisher medal, a T-shirt, an MPH Cup award, overall awards, age group awards, and access to the Chicago Auto Show after the run. Top three men and top three women are recognized in a ceremony following the race; age group awards for the top three in each category are mailed to recipients. The event has a capacity of 850 and registration closes in advance or sooner if capacity is reached. The organizer does not issue refunds or deferrals for any reason.
