Join us for a historic day of running on the fastest course along Chicago’s Lakefront! On Sunday September 6, 2026 Lake Effect Community Development (501c3) will host the inaugural Time and a Half Race at Steelworkers Park, adjacent to the future site of the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park. The South Chicago community boasts a rich and storied history. For over a century, this area was synonymous with American Steel production.

Together we will make history on the Southeast Side of C
