The Chicago Park District in partnership with the Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA) announces the 2022 ‘Go Run’ series schedule for the events being held at parks across the city through November 19, 2022. ‘Go Run’ events are free, organized, and timed 1-mile and 5K community runs that are open to everyone including long-time runners, newcomers, families and children. Participants are welcome to race, run, jog, walk or volunteer during the weekly community gatherings on Saturdays at 9 a.m. ‘Go Run’ park locations include Big Marsh Park, Calumet Park, Columbus Park, Douglass Park, Garfield Park, Horner Park, Humboldt Park, Jackson Park, Marquette Park, Warren Park, among others. ‘Go Run’ participants may choose from either a 1 mile or 5K (3.1 mile) course located entirely within the park. Both runs begin simultaneously. The events are family-friendly and open to all ages. Strollers, baby joggers and participants with pets on a leash are welcome. Online registration for each ‘Go Run’ is required for all participants, including children, and opens on the Friday prior to each ‘Go Run’ at approximately 3 p.m. Registration closes when capacity (150 persons) is reached or on Friday at 2 p.m. the day prior to each ‘Go Run’, whichever comes first. All ‘Go Runs’ are timed and results are posted immediately after each run to help participants track their progress. Participants are asked to check-in at their first ‘Go Run’ each calendar year and pick up their bib number prior to the start. Participants only need to check in once per calendar year unless they need a replacement bib. Visit www.GoRunChicago.org to register or learn more about upcoming ‘Go Run’ events.
