Club Athletic’s 10K links a riverfront warmup with Oak Street Beach, using pace groups to turn Bridge 2 Beach into a shared run.

Bridge 2 Beach connects Chicago’s riverfront and Oak Street Beach in a Club Athletic 10K. Runners gather before the warmup and split into pace groups, giving the route a social structure. Choose it if that distance suits your running and you would enjoy finishing beside the lake with other participants.

What to expect

Meet outside Blue Bottle Coffee at Wolf Point Plaza, then walk with the group toward the riverfront warmup. The run finishes at Oak Street Beach, so plan your onward journey from there.

Good to know
