2003 Marks the Year of New Divisions
John Bingham Racing wants every level of runner to participate in the Chicago Distance Classic. We are offering Clydesdale runners the chance to compete against others in their weight class. Weigh-ins will be available at packet pick-up for all Clydesdale competitors. Also new this year is a Wheelchair division for the 20K.

The University of Illinois Medical Center 5K
The University of Illinois Medical Center 5K offers you the opportunity to either walk or run our flat and fast course. Participants will receive an official race t-shirt and have their race “chip” timed. The 5K Run/Walk is proud to be a CARA Registered Race for 2003.
