To promote the health and wellness of Chicago children through innovative, engaging, and sustainable youth running programs.

Founded in December 2007 to aid in the effort against childhood obesity, Chicago Run organizes programs in underserved communities around the city, improving the health and uplifting the spirits of schoolchildren. "Chicago Runners" run 15 minutes per day, three to five days per week, and are rewarded for achieving their mileage goals. Chicago Run also sponsors events to inspire fitness and fun in youth throughout the year. Find out how you can get involved!
