“We are honored to have the opportunity to create an event on Chicago’s West Side,” said Executive Race Director of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, Shamrock Shuffle, and Chicago 13.1, Carey Pinkowski. “The energy and enthusiasm we’ve seen from community groups and run clubs has been humbling. With their support, we hope to build an event that will be as iconic as the parks and roadways we’re running through and a point of pride for the city.”
In the fall of 2019 was when the Bank of America Chicago 13.1 was originally announced with the goal to reimagine running occasions in Chicago. As well as the events going further than the waterfront and starting a race that is similar to a festival for the runners and members of the community. The race this year starts to understand the vision by doing a 13.1-mile race route. It travels from Chicago’s Garfield Park through Douglass Parks and Humboldt while running on the boulevards that connect them all.
Each park’s interesting architecture will be viewable. Garfield Park’s Dome Field House acts as a backdrop for the running festival. The event is free and has a mixture of entertainment, community activities, and health and wellness activities. Also, it is open to all. The schedule will be announced the week of the race.
