🏃🍩 Today marks the 14th running of the Bucktown 5K!
If you missed it this year, no sweat. Well... technically no sweat is exactly what you missed.
Just slap it on the calendar for next year because here are our Top 5 Reasons to Run the Bucktown 5K:
👕 Matching race swag — Get the whole family decked out and look like the athletic branch of The Royal Tenenbaums.
🍩 FREE FINISH-LINE DONUT — Finally, a race that understands proper motivation.
❤️ Support a great Chicago Public School — Run hard. Do good. Eat donut.
🏘️ Tour Bucktown on foot — One of Chicago’s coolest neighborhoods, enjoyed without having to find parking.
🍬 Pre-Halloween calorie prep — Burn a few hundred calories now so you can absolutely DESTROY that “for the trick-or-treaters” candy later.
Run 3.1 miles. Get some sweet swag. Help a school. Eat a donut.
Honestly, this race has figured out life. 🏃🍩
See you next year!
