The race is on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend, and pays respect to the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Pre-race activities will include the presentation of the American flag by a military Color Guard and a moment of silence. All of this in the awesome shadow of Soldier Field, Chicago's largest and most well known war memorial.

Due to the overwhelming success of this race, and in order to provide the best possible race experience for each participant, Race Management has determined the need to cap the Soldier Field 10 Mile at 3,000 entrants.
