The race is a 5K USATF certified chip-timed 5K Run combined with a noncompetitive 5K walk sponsored by the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation. The event also features a junior jog, and a family friendly after-party with children's activities.
Funds raised by the race will be used to provide support and assistance to the families of Chicago police officers who are killed or catastrophically injured in the line of duty.
The R2R starts and finishes at the Gold Star Families Memorial Park just east of Solider Field in Chicago.
The course is run along Chicago's beautiful Lake Michigan waterfront.
