Maybe you’re a seasoned ultra-runner looking for a training race before your big 50k, 50 mile, or 100 mile race. Perhaps you’re looking to complete your first “ultra” race. Whatever your experience level, this race is for you!

The inaugural Half Day at the Lake race will take runners along one of the premier lakefront paths through Chicago’s north shore area. Featuring Evanston’s lakefront as well as the beautiful Northwestern University campus, this 3.44 mile route will not disappoint rain or shine (hopefully clear skies for beautiful Chicago skyline views). If you are not familiar with the area or the route, I recommend looking at some of the pictures from the route on our website. The start/finish is also blocks away from both the CTA Purple Line and Metra UP-North Line Main Street Stations.
