Run With Kenyans 5K Shakeout Run – Chicago

The Run With Kenyans 5K Shakeout Run is a community running event held in Chicago on October 10, 2026. The informal event covers a 5K distance along routes near 150 West Roosevelt Road, Chicago, IL 60605. It takes place during Chicago Marathon weekend and follows a Dinner with Champions night.

The run is not timed and is described as an easy, social shakeout run intended to loosen the legs and allow participants to connect with fellow runners. Kenyan athletes, marathon participants, and local running enthusiasts are noted as part of the group.

Proceeds from the event support the RWK Run Abroad Initiative, including scholarships for Kenyan children participating in programs offered by the Charity Course for Kenyan Kids Foundation.

A registration fee of $50 applies. Packet pick up is available at the event address on the morning of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
