The Geneva Swedish Days Festival is supported by Northwestern Medicine and is presented by the Geneva Chamber of Commerce. The Swedish Days 5K is coordinated by Chicago Area Track & Field Organizing Committee.

Course Map
The Northwestern Medicine Cross Country Course is located just west of Kirk Road, behind the Fox Valley Ice Arena. Runners and spectators will enjoy a spectacular panorama of Geneva, the Fox Valley area, and even the downtown Chicago skyline. From late August through mid-November, the Course will host middle school, high school, and college running events.
The Course is a 10 meter wide, grass running surface, with an 80 meter wide starting line. The 5 km course is one and a half loops of the Course. Detailed maps are available at https://www.chicagotrack.org/. The entrance to the Course is through the gate at the end of Cherry Lane behind the Kane County Cougars' baseball stadium, marked with the red arrow on the map above. It is about a half mile walk from the parking lot to the start/finish area of the Course. There is also a more direct path to the Course from behind the Striker's Indoor Soccer facility.
