Life Time Chicago Half Marathon & 5K.

This Sunday, September 28, runners from all 50 states and 41 countries will hit the pavement at the sold out Life Time Chicago Half Marathon & 5K.

Many participants have inspiring personal stories as they chase new PRs, conquer personal milestones, or run for meaningful causes. Some of our incredible runners include:

• Ana Ramirez (Romeoville) – A three-time cancer survivor, Ana will be competing in her sixth straight Life Time Chicago Half Marathon.
• Samantha Saenz (Chicago) – The 30 year-old was diagnosed with thyroid cancer this January and had surgery in May. She is happy to be able to be back at training and is excited to complete a half marathon this year.
• Stephanie R. (Chicago) – Stephanie has a rare paralyzing autoimmune disease called Guillain-Barre Syndrome. She had to relearn how to walk and to run again. She first ran after being paralyzed one year ago, a 5k, and now she is up to a half-marathon. Her goal is to one day complete a full marathon.

Life Time Chicago Half Marathon & 5K is returning to the windy city, giving runners the chance to experience unparalleled views via exclusive access to Lake Shore Drive. Taking place on Sunday, September 28th, this year’s race will welcome thousands of athletes representing all 50 states and 41 countries, with the youngest participants in the Kids Race being just 2 years old and the oldest participant, 83.

This scenic half marathon course starts in Historic Jackson Park and journeys north, giving runners picturesque views of Lake Michigan and the famous Chicago skyline. After the turnaround point, the course takes runners along Chicago’s south Lake Shore Drive, providing glimpses of Chicago’s historic southside neighborhoods like Kenwood and Hyde Park.

On Friday and Saturday ahead of race day, Life Time welcomes participants to the Chicago Half Pre-Race Party and packet pick-up at Navy Pier’s Festival Hall. The Pre-Race Party features live music and entertainment, food and beverages, and unique sponsor activations to celebrate race weekend.
