About

A cheer zone for book lovers at 15th and Loomis, just before Mile 19, with music and the book-themed and Asian-American-themed signs of Read & Run Chicago and Family Style RC. Supporters come as cheerers or volunteers, pick an arrival time and stay as long as they like. Volunteers receive their duties closer to race day.

Good to know:

  • Road closures start around 5:15 to 5:30 AM, so public transit or a bike is the recommended way in
  • Light snacks and drinks are provided
  • Hand sanitizer, bug spray and sunscreen are on hand
