Hyundai Hope On Wheels 5K

The Hyundai Hope On Wheels 5K will take place on Sunday, September 9, the same day as the Chicago Half Marathon, and actually uses the same start line and finish line as the Chicago Half. The Hyundai Hope On Wheels 5K will start at approximately 7:45 a.m. and will be a great opportunity for friends and families to participate before they cheer their loved ones on to the finish. The Hyundai Hope On Wheels 5K will carry a 50-minute time limit for completion, or 16 minute per mile pace. The course will take you through beautiful Jackson Park and participants will receive many of the same perks as the half marathon participants.
