Guiding Light 5K Run/Walk

Guiding Light is proud to host our third annual 5k Run/Walk located in Millennium Park. Guiding Light is a donor-funded Christian non-profit dedicated to helping men & women recover from addiction and the associated chaos of a life consumed by substance abuse. All race proceeds support Guiding Light programming.

Event Information: Our race course will take you on a 3.1 mile loop in and around Millennium Park beginning and ending at the Grant Pavilion where awards will be presented after the race. This is a timed event! Whether this is your first 5K or your 100th, we will have your finish time upon crossing the finish line!

RACE START TIME 9AM

Packet Pick-Up: Packet pick-up will begin the morning of the event at 7:30am under the Grant Pavilion at Millennium Park.

Family, Friends, and Dogs: We hope that you bring your family and friends to show support and enjoy themselves. Snacks and water will be provided. If your four legged friends want to check out what we are doing please bring them along! Just remember that dogs must be on a leash the entire time of the event. Runners/Walkers with dogs will also start the race after participants without dogs. Please be prepared to clean up after your dog.
