The Chi-Care 5K Run/Walk starts at 9:00 AM at Montrose Harbor in Chicago, giving you time to arrive the night before or early morning without a pre-dawn wake-up. The event offers two distances: a 300-meter option and the standard 5K, so you can choose based on your fitness level or race goals. Entry fees range from $20 to $55. If travel plans fall through or weather becomes a concern, the race provides a virtual participation option, allowing you to complete your distance elsewhere and still be part of the event. This flexibility makes it easier to commit to your fall racing schedule without worrying about last-minute logistics.

From the Race Organizer
Chi-Care has been feeding Chicagoland's unhoused population since 2020. We've expanded from passing out a few meals to those in need, to now serving over 2,000 hot meals every single week. Chi-Care offers a mobile service for the unhoused aimed at providing warm meals to those who face homelessness and/or food insecurity. Our mobile routes operate in key areas where homeless populations are known to gather, such as parks, shelters, and underpasses, bringing necessities directly to those who may have limited access to resources. In addition to warm meals, Chi-Care provides water, hygiene kits, snacks, socks, underwear, jackets, blankets, propane and heaters. Chi-Care participates in weekly Wellness Fairs across the Chicagoland Area. The goal of these wellness fairs is to provide those in need wraparound services that include a warm meal, harm reduction supplies, healthcare, and assistance with housing. ‍ Our goal is to help end hunger across Chicagoland.
