The Best Races - Evanston

National Coffee Day: Run for Coffee CHICAGO/EVANSTON takes place on the Lakefront Trail in Chicago. The event offers multiple distances: 5K, 10K, a half-marathon, plus a Family 1 Mile Fun Run and a Virtual Run. Described as a smaller, private group experience with waves that sell out quickly, it welcomes all paces and ages (under 18 with guardian).

The course follows the Lakefront Trail, with a focus on a stress-free, chipless timing setup; timing is optional. Swag is sent to registrants, bibs handed on race day, and finishers receive a shirt, medal, and towel or giveaway, plus digital resources and club invitations. Optional tech shirts and charity aspects are highlighted. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
