This glorious summer weather is a great excuse to get outside and get active in Chicagoland. Luckily, there are some great summer fun runs coming up that offer opportunities to do just that. So lace up your running shoes, and join our real estate agents at these upcoming races, walks, and runs in Chicagoland.

  • St. Monica Summerfest 5K Run/Walk - 7100 W Carmen Ave, Chicago, IL 60656
    St. Monica Summerfest returns on August 24 this year, and it brings a chance to participate in the annual Summerfest & 5K Run/Walk.

Participants receive a commemorative race shirt and other assorted goodies, including a beverage voucher. Proceeds from Summerfest benefit St. Monica Academy.

  • Fort2Base 10NM, 3NM, and 1-Mile Fun Run - 3155 Blackhawk Dr, Fort Sheridan, IL 60037
    Now in its 13th year, Fort2Base is a monumental race that offers something for runners of all fitness levels. This year's event takes place on August 25 and includes three races. The 10-nautical-mile race begins at 7 am at the historic Fort Sheridan military base in the community of Fort Sheridan and follows the McClory Bike Path to North Chicago's Foss Park.
