Snails Keep Going Runners Club CHICAGO/EVANSTON

Snails aren't the fastest species but you know what? At least Snails Keep GOING! It's not always about speed or who's the fastest. It's about finishing YOUR race. 
For all those who aren’t necessarily the fastest runner you can still say you "Snailed It" after this super fun unique 5K, 10K, or 13.1 Half-Marathon run! Take your time, run your pace, your race. 

This is part of our Running Club series where you have three options for registration:

1. Sign-up to run the race one time (like a normal race)!

2. Sign-up for the Virtual Run Option (and get our Virtual Packet). You run anywhere, anytime on your own time and pace.

3. Join our Annual Running Club where you will get:

- Premium Running Club Technical Running Shirt

- Access to any 3 of our coordinated runs throughout the year. 

- Access to our Quarterly Social Get-Together's!

Run for Others: Make a Difference

Every year we aim to provide 5,000 stipends, scholarships, or just free entries (with Shirt & Medal) to those who aren’t able to pay for a registration ticket themselves. We believe every person should have the opportunity to part of a fun, community run. 

This includes at risk youth, orphans, or the marginalized. 

If you’re an organization or Non-Profit wanting to apply for stipend/scholarships, feel free to contact us for more information at contact@thebestraces.com.
