Summer Fun Runs

Spring into summer and sign up for a 5k!  After the long and cold winter in Chicago it can be difficult to find the motivation to start working out again.  One of the best ways to help kick start your training is by signing up for a race.  Below is a list of TFI’s best short distance runs that would be fun for any running level.  You can also join us this summer for the TFI Fun Run and Lecture Series.

Four Mile Classic

TFI is so excited to partner up with Universal Sole for Chicago’s only four mile race.  As an extra bonus this race supports Chicago Run, a non-profit organization that helps fight against childhood obesity. This race is  longer than a 5K, but don’t worry, the course is flat, easy and along the scenic lake shore path. Find our TFI tent at the end of the race for some recovery foam rolling and stretching. There will be a post party celebration with one free beer and many raffles. Register before May 7th for $5 off.
