Ugh…where to start.

First, we want to be clear that participants safety is our main priority, above all else.

Second, the decisions to delay and eventually cancel, were based solely off monitoring the lightening strikes and their proximity to the course. There are industry standards for these events and we made every attempt to let the event go on.

Third, once an event is cancelled for the safety of the participants and volunteers, we have to stop our part of the event, and that means fully stopping the race.

Our team is gutted over having to shut it down today and we fully understand the frustrations. As athletes ourselves, we well understand the dedication to train for these events. It sucks. We’re not going to downplay the disappointment, all the way around.

That said, we’re working on what we can offer participants and will communicate via email, in the coming days.

Again, we understand the frustrations and disappointment and feel it too.

PS: The picture is of two participants that narrowly missed getting hit by that tree falling 😬

When Millennium Meadows started in 2018, we hoped runners would find something here worth coming back for.

Eight years later, you have.

This Sunday, we'll welcome the largest field in Millennium Meadows history to Millennium Park, with runners joining us from 24 states across the country and one from Japan!

For a race that has always kept things pretty simple — good courses, a beautiful park, and a place for runners to chase whatever goal brought them here — that's something we're awfully proud of.

Thank you for making year eight our biggest yet!

And we're not quite done. There's still time to join us. Registration remains open for the Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and Marathon Relay.

One more thing waiting for you at Millennium Meadows this Sunday — race photos!

stellafly will be out on the course capturing race day, and your photos will be available to download for free after the race.
No photo packages. No deciding whether that finish-line shot is worth $30. Just find your photos, download them and keep them.
