2026 Stride for Science Run/Walk
The 2026 Run/Walk is a timed 5K along Lake Michigan, starting and ending in Grant Park, just a short 10-minute walk from the Hilton Chicago. Runners and walkers will experience a scenic route with a Lake Michigan sunrise on one side and landmarks like the Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, Adler Planetarium, and Soldier Field on the other. Both runners and walkers are encouraged to sign up! A shorter route option will be marked at the Adler Planetarium for a one-mile loop.
