New this year is an untimed two-mile walk, which shares the Grant Park start and nish line with the 8K race, but loops down the lakefront.
"The Bank of America Shamrock Shu e 8K is an event that is a true re ection of the Chicago running community," said Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. "Each year, we see the excitement of individuals as they line up at the start line, ready to take on their rst road race, tackle a new PR or nd a healthy way to continue the St. Patrick's Day celebration with their family and friends."
