Join the Chicago Federation of Labor for the May Day 5K Run and Walk this April. Individuals of all ages and fitness levels are encouraged to participate in this family-friendly event to commemorate May Day and its importance to the Chicago Labor Movement. The race will begin on the Lakefront Trail near the Lakeside Center at McCormick Place and continue up the trail through the Museum Campus. The course features a segment on Solidarity Drive and beautiful views of Chicago’s Downtown skyline.
Commemorative moisture-wicking race t-shirts will be provided to all runners and walkers, and medals will be awarded to winners in age-group categories. All participants will also receive a complimentary beverage at the post-race party and awards ceremony following the race. Free parking validation at McCormick Place Lot C is available for all registrants. The “Solidarity Spirit” award will once again be awarded to the team with the most registered participants at the race.
The May Day 5K Run and Walk is UNION STRONG: Our finisher medals, overall awards, and t-shirts are Made in the USA and Union printed. Our tents, tables, chairs and food are all provided by union vendors.
This year’s race coincides with Workers’ Memorial Day and will recognize the workers killed, injured or made ill on the job.
