Lincoln Park Zoo
Run
For more than four decades, runners of all levels and abilities have been leaping into action with Lincoln Park Zoo's annual Run for the Zoo. Now in its 44th year, the race is back and better than ever!
Ambitious athletes can compete in the chip-timed 5K and 10K courses, which are both U.S.A. Track & Field-certified. Families can enjoy a fun run or walk that accommodates every member of their group. And younger participants can take on the Kids' Course, a fun obstacle course built to have children running, climbing, and crawling! The race route winds in and around the zoo, allowing for beautiful views of Chicago's skyline, Lake Michigan, protected natural areas, zoo animals, and maybe even a few roaring spectators.

50% FESTIVAL + 50% MUD RUN = 100% AWESOME!
Rugged Maniac is like recess for grown-ups, except our playground has a 3-story water slide, trampolines, and a fire jump, and there's a huge festival right in the middle of everything with a DJ and plenty of beer! Sounds amazing, right?! Here's how it works:
THE FESTIVAL
The 5,000-person party starts at 8:30 a.m. with a DJ on the main stage, booths giving away free stuff, all kinds of interactive games (mechanical bulls, dance-offs, stein-hoisting, pie-eating…), and tasty food and beer to keep you fueled all day. The best part? The games are completely FREE, no ticket required, so even your least adventurous friends can join the party!
THE PLAYGROUND
But the real fun happens out on the playground — our 3-mile course packed with 20+ epic obstacles designed to both challenge and thrill Maniacs of all fitness levels, from couch potatoes to marathoners. The course opens at 9 a.m. but you'll select a specific time to run when you buy your tickets. If you're a late sleeper, that means you can wake up at noon, run at 1:45 p.m., and then party the rest of the day! Or if you're the competitive type, join the 9 a.m. "Elite Heat" to race other speedsters for a chance to be crowned the winner!
Each time slot is limited to just 200 Maniacs each, so grab your friends and reserve your spot before it sells out!

Over Memorial Day weekend, The Soldier Field 10 returns to Chicago to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Our annual 10 mile and 10K takes place on May 27, 2023, where a pre-race playing of taps and a military salute will open the event. Both courses run south on DuSable Lake Shore Drive before looping back. You will run through spectacular skyline views along Lake Michigan - just to the finish ON Soldier Field. There, you can take in the sights and then head outside for the post-race tailgate in the Stadium Green with free beer, live music, and more!
