Join runners from across Chicagoland on Monday, May 25, 2026, for BAPA’s Ridge Run, a beloved Memorial Day tradition in Beverly/Morgan Park. Run along the beautiful, historic neighborhood of Beverly, featuring tree-lined streets, classic architecture, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes this course a local favorite.
Choose from the 5K Run, 5K Untimed Walk, 10K Run, 5K + 10K Challenge, or Youth Mile. All races start and finish at Ridge Park (9625 S. Longwood Dr., Chicago) and conclude with a family-friendly post-race festival.
The day begins with a Memorial Day ceremony prior to the 5K, followed by the 100th Anniversary Memorial Day Parade at 10:30 AM, stepping off from 110th St. & Longwood Dr. and marching north to Ridge Park.
