The Best Races - Chicago

The Father's Day Fun Run in Chicago/Evanston offers a memorable way to celebrate Father's Day with running events on the scenic Lakefront Trail and Elliott Park area. Participants can choose from 5K, 10K, or half-marathon (13.1 miles) distances, as well as a family-friendly 1-mile fun run. The event welcomes all ages and paces, allowing running or walking in a supportive, stress-free environment without timing chips—timing is optional.

Each dad receives a special mini tool kit, and all finishers get a medal, towel, and a running shirt shipped directly to their address. Virtual participation is also available, with digital training packs and medal delivery. The run promotes community, fitness, and charity support.
