Country Sole Half Marathon

The Country Sole Half Marathon, rebranded in 2025 as the Chicago Fall Classic Half Marathon & 10K, is a scenic running event held in Chicago, Illinois, along the city's lakefront. Participants can choose between a USATF-certified half marathon or a 10K race, both conducted on paved trails starting and finishing at Montrose Harbor. The event offers a festive atmosphere with finisher medals, local treats like caramel apples and hot apple cider, and a complimentary beer for those 21 and older.

Runners receive a choice of commemorative gear, including a classic t-shirt or premium hoodie. The race supports Depaul USA, a nonprofit aiding homeless college students. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
