Each Memorial Day since 1977, our neighborhood has hosted thousands of runners and spectators for the Ridge Run. Athletes from all over Chicagoland traverse our hilly streets lined with trees and historic homes, as residents play motivating music, offer water, and cheer them on. It’s Chicago’s oldest neighborhood 10K and the city’s friendliest foot race. 

The events include a 10K run, 5K run/walk, 10K/5K Challenge, and Youth Mile. Races start and finish at Ridge Park, 9625 S. Longwood Dr.

In 2027, we look forward to celebrating 50 years of the Ridge Run!
