Chicago, IL
Entry is $45 now and rises to $50 after Aug 3, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
The course runs through the Lakeview neighborhood before turning into Wrigley Field itself. Runners get onto the warning track on the field, which is the kind of detail that makes this one stick in your memory. The finish line sits just in front of the Wrigley Field marquee, so the ending is hard to miss.
The race also has a virtual participation option. Proceeds go toward Cubs Charities and its work with youth programs across the city.
