Athletes from around Chicagoland gather in Beverly/Morgan Park every Memorial Day to compete in BAPA’s Ridge Run. On Monday, May 27, 2024, the Ridge Run will offer a 5K run, 5K untimed walk, 10K run, 5K + 10K Challenge, and Youth Mile. Races start and finish at Ridge Park, 9625 S. Longwood Dr., Chicago, with a family festival in the park to follow.
Memorial Day is observed in Beverly/Morgan Park with a ceremony in Ridge Park prior to the start of the 5K Ridge Run and the Memorial Day Parade. The parade steps off from 110th and Longwood Dr. at 10:30 a.m. and marches north to Ridge Park. The parade is one of the oldest community parades in Chicago, and we welcome schools, groups, and organizations to march with us! If you are interested in marching, complete an application HERE.
The Ridge Run is hosted by the Beverly Area Planning Association (BAPA).
