Gare di Half Marathon vicino a Barrington

The Chicago Fall Classic is a fall race day on Chicago’s lakefront, featuring a half marathon, a 10K run/walk, and the Hot Cider Hustle 5K run/walk. Virtual 5K, 10K, and half marathon options are available, alongside a Kid’s Division 5K Fun Run. The half marathon and 10K begin simultaneously, creating a shared run fest atmosphere rather than a single-distance focus. The courses traverse Montrose Harbor and are USATF-certified, providing runners with an officially measured route. The half marathon and 10K were formerly known as Country Sole, with the Hot Cider Hustle introducing the autumn theme to the shorter race. Upon finishing, participants receive local caramel apples and hot apple cider. Aid stations and restrooms are positioned throughout the course.

The Naperville Half Marathon, 10K & 5K all start and finish near downtown Naperville, with the race village close to the center of town. The races are run on a cool October morning and give runners a choice between the half marathon, the Endeavor Health 10K, and the 5K. It is a local event with spectator support, volunteer assistance, personalized bibs, finisher medals, shirt and hoodie options, and post-race food for in-person runners. The half marathon and 10K courses tour central Naperville, including downtown streets, historic sights, neighborhoods, and a section around Naperville North High School where runners can spot people ahead of or behind them. The course is relatively flat, which makes it friendly for steady pacing. The series also offers a virtual option, and repeat runners can earn consecutive-year finisher medals, premium awards, multi-race awards, and Chicagoland Distance Challenge medals when they qualify.

The Haunted Halloween Half Marathon & 5km takes place in late October in Chicago's Lincoln Park. Both the half marathon and 5km begin and end near the Diversey Event Space. The event begins with costume judging prior to the start of the half marathon and 5k, allowing participants to race in attire ranging from a minor Halloween accent to a complete costume suitable for movement. The half marathon route proceeds south along the lakefront towards the Field Museum before looping back to Lincoln Park, featuring mile markers and four aid stations. The 5k follows the same initial 1.55 miles before turning back. Costumes are a component of the day, with awards for the leading individual and group participants. The event also accommodates practical race-day needs; gear check is available for one standard backpack, which is useful if a costume incorporates an unwieldy item.

The Chi Town Half Marathon & 10K is a Chicago race series with two distances: a half marathon and a 10K. Both routes are USATF certified, and the race is built around the city’s lakefront, with runners moving through Lincoln Park and along Lake Michigan. The setup is practical for everyday runners, with aid stations and plenty of toilets along the course. At the finish, the race leans into its Chicago identity with Portillo’s and Chicago-inspired finisher medals, and the series has already marked a decade of running in the city.

The Naperville Women’s Half Marathon and 5K begins at North Central College each April, offering participants a choice between a 13.1-mile half marathon or a 5K. This spring road race is designed for women, emphasizing fitness, community, and a course suitable for both competitive runners and those preferring a more relaxed pace. Both the half marathon and 5K courses traverse downtown Naperville and its historic areas, featuring flat, fast, USATF-certified roads. The race concludes on the track within Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium, providing a stadium finish after the urban streets, accompanied by spectator encouragement throughout the route.
