Experience Gospel Run!
The Gospel Run is a USATF-sanctioned, chip-timed 5K event and a celebration of movement, music, culture, and community.
For over a decade, we've welcomed competitive runners, walkers, and teams from across the country to one of Chicago’s most inspiring race-day experiences.
Set on Chicago’s stunning lakefront — Gospel Run combines the excitement of a road race with a powerful atmosphere that has inspired thousands to take steps toward healthier lives.
Whether you're chasing a personal record, coming for the finishers' medal, or looking to create incredible memories, Gospel Run is an experience like no other.
Run your Race. Walk your Pace. Finish Strong.
Be Inspired!
