Thanks to all runners who took to the cross country course of Bunker Hill and raced under the Full Sturgeon Moon for the benefit of the Multiple Sclerosis Society!

Race week is upon us and we're looking forward to seeing all Full Moon runners this Tuesday and Wednesday, at the forest preserves of Bunker Hill!
For each runner "Day of Participation" assignments are available through our "Who's Registered" listing (click button under "Registration" tab).
Online registration may be open until Wednesday 10:00 am CDT. Depending upon daily capacities of 50 runners maximum we may have limited onsite race-day registration at runner check-in, near our race start / finish area, Bunker Hill Grove #3... cash or check only: $35 for 5-Km, $25 for 1-Mile... no guarantee on shirt availability.
Tuesday by/before noon... a race-day email alert message will be sent to all registered participants. This alert will include race-day details, rules of competition, and last-minute instructions. Please keep an eye open for arrival of your email alert.
All packet pickup will take place onsite at our start/finish area, beginning at 3:30 pm CDT. Daily starting waves will commence at 4:00 pm. The featured last wave of the day will begin at 6:30 pm, open to runners who can complete their race in 60 minutes or faster!

Tuesday June 30th - 11:30 am CDT
We're proceeding with caution...
Yes, there will be a Chicago Full Moon Run this summer of 2020!
But, major changes with precautionary measures will be implemented to ensure safety for all runners, volunteers, spectators, and officials of this year's race.
  • New Location: Bunker Hill Forest Preserve will serve as this summer's race location. We'll be racing cross-country style on a 5-kilometer grass loop that scenically winds the tree-lined groves of Bunker Hill and Caldwell Woods.
  • New Capacities: Based upon Restore Illinois Phase 4 the Forest Preserve District of Cook County (FPDCC) limits events to 50 participants. As such we have applied for a two-day permit for racing on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 4th - 5th. This allows for the registration of 100 runners, which we've set as our maximum capacity. In the unexpected event of overwhelming response... we may consider spilling over to a wait-list and requesting a third day of racing, Thursday August 6th.
  • New Attendance Rules: All in attendance will be required to wear facial masks (while not running), and observe 6-feet social distancing practices.
  • New Timing / Scoring: We'll be establishing wave starts, allowing runners ample space to run at a time that best serves their schedule. Runners will be required to cross timing stations at the start and finish of their race. Over the multi-days of racing finishing times will be compiled to determine overall, age-group, and team placing.
  • Subject to Change: We're determined to hold Chicago Full Moon Run this summer but are bound by conditions of the Coronavirus pandemic and permitting restrictions of the FPDCC. In the unlikely case that this year's race cannot be held we will offer a virtual option to all runners. However, we will not offer refunds as all proceeds of Chicago Full Moon Run are donated to our charitable beneficiary, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society - Greater Illinois.
