FINISH FEST MAP

Post-Race Brunch

 All registered race participants can enjoy the scrumptious options below from our partner, Eat Clean Chicago:

  1. Huevos a la Mexicana – Mexican-style eggs, are eggs cooked and scrambled in a tomato-based salsa w/ a side of beans.
  2. Overnight oats with strawberry jam & fresh berries on top.

Live Music

A finish festival without music? Not here. Enjoy live music from local artists while you celebrate your achievement and bask in the glory of conquered goals.

DIY Flower Station

Sponsored by the Life Time Chicago Half Marathon, participants and spectators alike can build their own little tribute to Spring. At this complimentary station, visitors will be given a flower pot, then they can select from a variety of blooming plugs, add soil and water, then walk away with their own living garden. No green thumb necessary!

Beer Garden

Participants 21 years and older can enjoy a complimentary and refreshing beer at the Spring Half Beer Garden. Any cash donations can be made to help fundraise for TEAM TO END AIDS.

Event Sponsor Activations

Sponsors and race partners will be located within the finish festival providing a variety of giveaways and offering hands-on activities throughout the day. 

Women’s Resource Area

A dedicated Women’s Resource Tent will be available at all of our running events. This space, located in Butler Field near the start/finish line, will include the following amenities:

  • Lactation Support: Enjoy a private space for pumping or breastfeeding. We’ll provide manual pumps (but if you want to bring your own, we’ll have power if you need it), storage bags, sanitizing wipes, and a cooler with ice for storage during your race.
  • Feminine Care: We’ll have feminine care products, hair ties, and deodorant available for your convenience.
  • Staff Support: The tent will be staffed at all times to assist you.
Located close to the start/finish line for convenient access, the Women’s Resource Tent can be your before and after race refuge when needs arise. At the Spring Half, the tent will be in the southeast corner of the Finish Festival in Butler Field, just a hop, skip, and a jump from the start/finish.
We want to ensure that all athletes have an amazing running experience this spring!
