'Go Run Chicago is a series of free organized Saturday morning community runs (1-mile or 5K) open to everyone interested in racing, running, jogging, walking, or volunteering. Long-time runners, newcomers, families, and children are invited to take part.

A volunteer-led, neighborhood-centered initiative, the weekly runs strengthen the community and encourage healthy and active lifestyles through running and volunteerism. The program is hosted and managed by the Chicago Park District and the Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA).
