Rosehill Cemetery 'Crypt' 5K

Rosehill Cemetery's Crypt 5K Run/Walk takes place on Chicago's north side at 5800 N Ravenswood Ave within Rosehill Cemetery. The event features two 5K options: a chip-timed 5K Run and a 5K Fun Run/Walk. Participants run or stroll through Rosehill’s 350-acre Victorian-era grounds on a candlelit, nighttime course highlighted by illuminated statues and monuments.

Highlights include course safety improvements, separate start waves to reduce bottlenecks, a post-race party at Fireside Tavern, glow accessories, and commemorative swag like a long-sleeve shirt and finishers medal. The race is in its 12th year, offering a unique nocturnal cemetery experience for runners and families alike. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
