About
The Miles for Manufacturing 5k and 1 Mile Walk (M4M) in Chicago brings the manufacturing community together on September 15, 2027, with a 5K and a 1-mile (1.6 km) course, both starting at 7:00 a.m. The event promotes physical activity and supports STEM education (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
