Lace up for a meaningful stride at the Run for Breast Cancer 5K/10K/13.1 CHICAGO/EVANSTON, taking place on April 4, 2026, in the vibrant city of Chicago, IL. This unique event offers participants a chance to run or walk distances of 13.1M, 10K, 5K, and a 1M Family Fun Run, all while contributing to a vital cause. The course, set along Chicago's picturesque Lakefront Trail, promises a scenic journey with stunning city views and minimal elevation, making it ideal for runners and walkers of all abilities seeking an engaging, "stress-free" experience. Typical race day conditions in early April feature comfortable highs around 56F and lows near 38F, with only a 13% chance of precipitation, providing pleasant weather for your efforts.

What truly sets this event apart is its intimate and supportive atmosphere.

While timing is optional and no chips are used, coordinators are on hand to assist with tracking your progress if desired, allowing you to focus on your personal goals and the impactful mission. A portion of the proceeds, along with 100% of fundraising efforts, directly benefits the American Cancer Society, ensuring your participation makes a tangible difference in the fight against breast cancer.

Beyond the race itself, participants receive a comprehensive swag bag, including a running T-shirt and a finisher's medal, shipped directly to their homes for convenience. Race bibs are provided on event day. Furthermore, the "Run for Others" initiative ensures that for every paid registration, an entry is gifted to someone who might otherwise be unable to participate, truly embodying the spirit of inclusivity and support. This commitment to a supportive, community-driven event that champions a crucial cause ensures a memorable and impactful experience for every runner.
