The second annual Run with Pius 5K is a run/walk taking place on Saturday, September 21, 2024 in support of St. Pius V School! In partnership with Fleet Feet Chicago, the event will open at 7:30 am with the race/run/walk starting at 8:30 am at St. Pius V School in Chicago, IL at 1919 S. Ashland Avenue.
The run will take place between St. Pius V School and Dvorak Park in Pilsen. A 2.5-kilometer option will be available for those who prefer that distance. We welcome runners and walkers of all levels!
Prizes
For the 5K, we will award prizes of a $100 voucher to the top finisher in the men's and women's divisions. $50 for second place and $25 for third place in each division. Vouchers are courtesy of Fleet Feet and are valid at any of their Chicago stores.
Course
The Run with Pius 5K and 2.5K courses offer a street route through Chicago's historic Pilsen neighborhood. Both races start and end at St. Pius V School, located at 1919 S. Ashland Ave.
Participants will make their way to and from Dvorak Park, with those in the 5K completing the loop twice and 2.5K participants once. The route includes Cullerton Street, Blue Island Avenue, 21st Street, and May Avenue, turning around at May and Cermak Road, adjacent to Dvorak Park.

We will have a DJ, pop-up vendors, and a concha and horchata for every registered participant!
