Don't miss your chance to be one of the first runners on a new certified and chip-timed 10K/5K/1M Inclusive Run & Walk being held on Sunday, October 23, 2022 in the Illinois Medical District, just two miles west of the Chicago Loop. The first annual Rise to Shine Run & Walk is accessible, inclusive and welcomes runners of all levels and ages.

Join on your own, invite your friends, or build a team. All registered runners and walkers receive a cooling performance shirt and custom finisher medal. There will also be custom age awards in five-year increments up to 70+. The wheelchair and handcycle races will have awards for the top 3 female and male participants.

Starting at 7 AM, enjoy our Family Dash Bash featuring a Kid's Race, pre-race stretch, entertainment by internationally renowned DJ and Producer Alex Miura, Masa Brothas Taco Experience Hour and other fun activities. The Kid's Race begins at 9:00 a.m. and all participants must be registered to participate.

The race is hosted by The Chicago Lighthouse and the Chicago Central Lions Club, who are working together to promote vision health, well-being, and inclusion in our community.
