  3. Head down Western Ave. to Taylor St.
  4. Loop around Four Winds Field, then back to Western Ave.
  5. Continue east to Michigan St., run north to Colfax Ave.
  6. Circle the block (Colfax → Main → Washington)
  7. Head back down Michigan St.
  8. Retrace steps on Western, around Four Winds Field, then back to the Kroc Center
  9. Cross the pedestrian bridge again to your finish line on the field!

☔ Weather Back-Up Plan

We are hoping for amazing weather on race day but, in the event of severe weather, our rainout/reschedule day is set for July 12th. You will hear from us by 6am on race day if we are going to reschedule.
