The 2022 Abbott Chicago 5K will send runners on a 3.1-mile trip around the city, offering participants glimpses of iconic landmarks.
Race organizers recently revealed the course participants will trek Oct. 8, just a day before the Bank of America Chicago Marathon takes off.
The race will get underway at the McCormick Place Convention Center, located at 2301 S. Martin Luther King Dr.
Runners will hit their first mile near Wacker Drive before heading north along the Chicago River. Mile two will be marked near Dearborn Street, as runners weave back for another round at the river.
The race will commence on Ida B. Wells Drive.
Runners who go the distance are also in for a festive treat.
