Rosehill Cemetery 'Crypt' 5K

The Rosehill Cemetery 'Crypt' 5K Run/Walk is an annual event held at the historic Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago, Illinois. This unique race takes place on the sprawling 350-acre Victorian-era cemetery grounds, featuring scenic paths lined with monuments and mausoleums. Participants can choose between a chip-timed 5K run or a fun 5K run/walk, both held in the evening along a candlelit course that highlights lit statues and a safe, well-maintained route.

The event offers cool swag, including a long-sleeve T-shirt and finisher medal, glow accessories, and culminates with a nearby post-race party at Fireside Tavern. It’s a spirited fall event blending fitness with local history and atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
