Soldier Field 10

The Soldier Field 10 is a Memorial Day weekend running tradition held in Chicago, Illinois, United States, organized by Ventures Endurance Events LLC. The event features both a 10-mile and 10K race, giving runners a rare opportunity to run through Chicago’s Museum Campus, along Lake Michigan, and finish inside iconic Soldier Field.

The race begins at Soldier Field, heads south past McCormick Place and along the Lake Michigan lakefront, then returns for a stadium finish. Its identity is strongly tied to Memorial Day: the race includes a pre-race playing of taps and military salute, with the event positioned as a tribute to service members. After finishing on the field, runners can join the post-race tailgate on Stadium Green with music, beer for participants 21+, and family-friendly festivities.
