We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate the current COVID-19 situation. The health and safety of our athletes, staff, volunteers, vendors, charity partners and the broader community we serve is absolutely our top priority.

Due to the significant impact COVID-19 continues to post to our community, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Byline Bank Chicago Spring Half Marathon & 10K scheduled to take place on May 17th. While this was an incredibly hard decision and one we are making well in advance of the date we previously committed, we do believe that this decision is in the best interest of all involved, including the Chicago community.

We know you were looking forward to gathering with the running community as much as we were excited to bring everyone together, but we simply need to wait to bring everyone back together safely.

We would like to offer the following options to all registered participants:

  1. Complimentary deferral to the 2021 Byline Bank Chicago Spring Half Marathon & 10K on May 23, 2021
  2. Complimentary transfer 2020 HOKA ONE ONE Chicago Half Marathon & 5K on September 27, 2020
  3. Refund of your registration fee

Please follow these instructions to defer or transfer your entry no later than May 17, 2020. The instructions and FAQs can be found here.

We know this situation can be overwhelming, but we also still believe your fitness goals can remain a priority. Stay tuned on Facebook, Instagram and via email as we work to provide ways in which we can all stay motivated and active!

We will miss you this spring but we look forward to seeing you at either the 2021 Byline Bank Chicago Spring Half Marathon & 10K or the 2020 HOKA ONE ONE Chicago Half Marathon & 5K.

Thank you for your continued support and stay safe,

The Byline Bank Chicago Spring Half Marathon & 10K Team
