A race series bringing the Chicago running community together, with 100% of proceeds going to support Black and Brown run clubs.
About this Event

Amidst a pandemic and major running city gone quiet, we wanted to set a precedent for what it looked like to race safely — to still gather, engage as a community, and push ourselves and each other to tackle these new challenges head on.

A partnership formed between GumboFit and EDGE Athlete Lounge, and the result was a race series that brought our city closer together. Our mission remains constant, raising funds for Black and Brown fitness groups - with 100% of our race proceeds going toward this objective.

This is the Road Less Traveled.
