Stan's Donut Run

Stan's Donut Run is spread across two dates in Chicago, Illinois: the half marathon (13.1 miles) on April 25, 2027, then the 10K and the 5K on July 24, 2027. The course is urban, running along wide avenues and the edge of the lake, with views over Lake Michigan, and the whole event is wrapped in a doughnut theme.

Relaxed is the word for the mood, which is why the field mixes committed runners with people who signed up mainly to see the city on foot. The half in April rewards a proper 12-week build with a long run reaching 11 miles; the summer 10K and 5K are a different proposition, since Chicago in late July is hot, so run those by effort and take water at every station rather than chasing splits.
