The 16th Annual F^3 Lake Half Marathon & 5k is Chicago's Original Winter Half Marathon. Each year thousands of runners flock to this community-built event, gathering in the warmth of Soldier Field's United Club before tackling wind & weather along a lakefront course which features splits every 5km. A must for anyone preparing for a spring marathon, or just resolving to stay fit throughout the new year. F^3 sold out in 2023, 2024 and 2016-2020.

Every registrant will once again receive one of our great hoodies and a medal! We will return again to the warm confines of Soldier Field's United Club! The UC opens at 8am. Gear check is available. Half marathon starts at 10am, and consists of self-seeded waves in quick succession. The 5k is scheduled for 10:30am. Courses close at 1:30pm.

After the race, head to Weathermark Tavern for the afterparty! 1503 S. Michigan Ave. Free participant photos are always uploaded to flashframe.io

The USATF certified course is mostly flat & fast along Chicago's lakefront. Each mile is marked with an F^3 feather flag. There are three aid spots on course, each of which are passed twice, offering 6 chances for water, Gatorade, or a bathrooms.
