    Rising from the shores of Lake Michigan, Chicago is a city defined by its towering skyline, deep-seated sports legacy, and an unmistakable Midwestern grit. From the historic steel of the "L" trains to the vibrant energy of its world-class waterfront, the "Windy City" offers a high-octane atmosphere where legendary architecture meets a community that prides itself on hard work and resilience.

    The event takes over the expansive exhibition halls of Navy Pier, providing a high-energy indoor environment with breathtaking views of the lake. Over three days, competitors will face the signature 10-zone, 5km course, featuring everything from the high-stakes Elite and Age Group heats to the heavy-duty Ruck challenge. Whether you’re grabbing a partner for 2-person teams, gathering a squad for the 4-person format, or braving the grueling DEKA FIT Ultra, Chicago offers a world-class stage to test your mettle.

    Three Run Two was born in Logan Square, Chicago, out of a passion for self-improvement, community, and cultural awareness. Founded on the belief that running is about much more than miles, the crew celebrates diversity and brings together everyone from first-time runners to ultra-marathoners. There's no pace hierarchy here, just genuine people who show up Tuesday and Thursday nights in Logan Square to run, connect, and belong. The crew is organic and relatable, a true reflection of Chicago in all its variety. Whether you're chasing a personal record or breaking bread with neighbors, Three Run Two proves that running is the vehicle for something bigger than the distance itself.

    Tortugas Run Club was founded in March 2021 by David, who created a running community where slower-paced runners finally feel welcome. The name honors a family photo of his mother and her sisters racing as "Las Tortugas." Now around 60 members strong, the crew gathers on Chicago's Lower West Side under captains Kristin, Chris, JLuis, and Chino. Their philosophy is clear: the back of the pack is a valid place to run from, and pace is never a measure of belonging. Every runner receives the same energy, and no one gets left behind. Every Sunday at 10:00am, Tortugas Run Club meets at Harrison Park for their weekly group run, a tradition that feels exactly right for this tight-knit, genuinely inclusive crew.
