World Health Run - Chicago, IL

NOTE: SHIRT ORDER DEADLINE IS MARCH 20.  IF YOU REGISTER THEREAFTER YOUR SHIRT WILL BE MAILED TO YOU VIA USPS AND IT MAY OR MAY NOT ARRIVE PRIOR TO EVENT DATE.

On Saturday, April 7, 2018, people of all walks of life, from around the world will run together to recognize World Health Day. WORLD HEALTH RUN is a worldwide running event to advocate for health equity in the U.S. and globally.

Running is not THE answer but it is AN answer. We have re-imagined running for the health of individuals and communities. We have reconstructed what it means to partner for a common issue. AND we have done this by emphasizing the POWER OF LOCAL.

Are you Relentless? Indomitable? Spunky? Dauntless? Brassy? Gritty?

…and ready to go for a run (or a walk) (or just support WORLD HEALTH)?

…We invite you to lace up and join us!
