Chicago DIY5k

The Blessings in a Backpack Chicago chapter presents the fourth annual “Do It Yourself” 5K Walk/Run!

Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals, and resources to provide weekend food for elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry. Chicago Blessings feeds 6,000 kids each weekend. However, there are over 150,000 food-insecure kids throughout Chicagoland.

The race is a “Do It Yourself” 5k run/walk done on your own time, at your own pace, and in your place. You can participate any time between Saturday, November 4, and Sunday, November 12. Those who registered by October 13 will receive their t-shirt before the race. We will ship shirts after the race to everyone who registers after October 13.

Registration prices:

• $25 for students (under 23)
• $50 for adults (23 and over)
• $130 for a family (up to five people in the same household)*

*Family registrations should be made simultaneously to receive the registration discount. Shirts must be shipped to the same mailing address.
