Run Mag Mile® 5K & 10K - Chicago, IL
Run Mag Mile® Presented by HOKA is a road running event on September 12, 2026, staged along Chicago’s Magnificent Mile and surrounding streets. The event closes Michigan Avenue to vehicle traffic so participants run past city landmarks and on-course entertainment.
Distances offered:
- 5K
- 10K
The course passes notable buildings such as Tribune Tower, the Wrigley Building, and the historic Water Tower. The 10K route extends to the Lakefront Trail, providing views of Lake Michigan before the finish in Grant Park. Live music and other entertainment are placed along the course, and the event includes the HOKA Mile, a one-mile race within race day.
Registrations include event swag, a Chicago-themed finisher’s medal, a USATF certified course, finisher photos, and access to the post-race brunch and finish line performances. The post-race area offers live music and an adult beverage for participants 21 and over, and every finisher receives a slice of Eli’s Cheesecake as part of the brunch. A virtual option allows runners to complete the distance remotely while receiving event swag. Group registration, volunteer opportunities, and charity participation supporting the Chicago Help Initiative are available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
