6.2 Miles of Chicago

The Soldier Field 10K keeps the experience big while giving runners a shorter tour of the lakefront.

The route heads south along the Chicago lakefront before looping back toward Soldier Field, giving runners a scenic out-and-back-style experience with Lake Michigan and the city providing the backdrop.

Throughout the course, you’ll find well-stocked Aid Stations offering hydration, restrooms, and medical support if needed, ensuring you have everything to make your run enjoyable and safe!

It's approachable, energetic, and just challenging enough to make that post-race celebration feel well earned.
