The highly anticipated Run Against Breast Cancer CHICAGO is expected to sell out quickly, with waves closing as soon as they fill up. However, if waves are sold out, participants can still get involved by signing up for the virtual run option. The event offers a range of distances to choose from, including a 5K, 10K, or 21K Half Marathon. What's more, 10% of the run proceeds and 100% of the fundraising efforts will be donated to the American Cancer Society, a renowned organization dedicated to saving lives and leading the fight against cancer.

In the event that waves are sold out, participants can still sign up for the virtual run option and join the waiting list for future runs.
