Dim Sum & Then Some: The Uptown 5K & 10K

Dim Sum and Then Some is a unique running event hosted by the Chinese Mutual Aid Association in Uptown Chicago. It promises a cultural experience, as participants partake in traditional ceremonies and performances, including a Laotian good-luck rite and a lion dance. The event continues along Chicago's beautiful lakefront and concludes with a festive block party featuring dim sum and performances by CMAA youth dance troupes. Proceeds support CMAA's mission to assist low-income immigrants and refugees by providing services ranging from youth programs to English classes. Participants receive themed gear as part of their race swag.
