Chicago Cubs Charities’ 7th Annual Race to Wrigley 5k Run, which starts and finishes at legendary Wrigley Field, helps kick off the baseball season and runners and sponsors can show their support for a good cause. This year, personal fundraising proceeds will benefit Children’s Memorial Hospital-after you sign up for the race, then register as a fundraiser and make every step count.
The course route proceeds through the streets of the Lakeview neighborhood before returning to the Friendly Confines, where runners run through Wrigley Field’s ground level concourse, finishing under the famed Wrigley Field Marquee at Clark and Addison.
This year personal fundraising proceeds benefit Children’s Memorial Hospital!
