ARCHIVED RACE: Italian Beef 5K and Kids Dash @ Montrose Harbor, 601 W Montrose Ave, Chicago, United States on 18 May 2019

Join us for Chicago’s first iconic 5K Walk and Run celebrating the legacy of Italian Beef in Chicago. Some like it hot and choose a 5K run with an intense pepper filled beef while others take a milder approach with a dipped walk along Chicago’s lakefront.

Any way you slice-it, the CHItalian Beef 5K delivers a scenic walk/run and delectable beef sandwiches from iconic Al’s and Buona and Al’s Beef. All participants receive a dri-fit race shirt, a taste of Chicago’s iconic beef, timed race bib and a beef inspired race medal.
