On June 27, 2026, the Garfield Ridge Stars and Stripes 5K Run takes place in Chicago, Illinois at 5625 South Narragansett Ave. Despite the race name, this event offers a 1-mile distance rather than a 5K.

This venue location on the South Side provides a convenient racing opportunity for Chicago-area runners and visiting athletes competing in the area.

From the Race Organizer
Since its establishment in 2017, the Garfield Ridge Stars and Stripes 5K Run has been committed to honoring and commemorating the courageous men and women who serve as first responders, particularly those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Our mission is to recognize their steadfast dedication and service to both our city and nation. This event seeks to raise funds for distinguished non-profit organizations that provide essential support services to individuals facing traumatic circumstances. In past years, we have been privileged to support the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation, the Wounded Warrior Project, the 100 Club of Chicago, and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. To sustain this vital work, we respectfully request your consideration of a donation.
