I was born in the city of Chicago and my parents and grandparents were raised there so it was a no-brainer to run the Race to Wrigley 5k. This race was different because it was virtual and I wasn't racing to the Wrigley, but I did something that was second best. I raced to the Cubs training facility at Sloan Field!

🧢 This is what sets apart #RaceToWrigley from other virtual races:

⚾ Registration supports Cubs Charities which provides access to sports opportunities and target improvements in health, fitness and education for those at risk in the Chicago area.

⚾ You have a week to race your 5k on the safety of your own marked up course or even on your treadmill.

⚾ The swag is super cool. We received a well made technical shirt with cool sleeve details, a Cubs printed buff, the coolest medal, a custom bib with your name on the front and a sweet Cubs drawstring bag to keep it all in.

⚾ This cost is minimal at $44 + fees and a portion goes to Cubs Charities

⚾ No waiting in line for packet pickup, race packets will be mailed prior to race week.

⚾ The race management team was quick to respond to all of my questions.

I totally recommend this race if you are looking for an end of summer virtual race to run.
