El Grito 5K Family Run/Walk
Join New Life Centers for El Grito 5K, a community race through the heart of Little Village. Run along 26th Street, Chicago’s second Magnificent Mile, as the neighborhood comes alive ahead of the annual Mexican Independence Day Parade.
Every registration supports mentoring, education, sports, street outreach, and community care programs across Chicago. Lace up, hit the course, and make every mile count.
