The Comer Kids' Classic

Update: More than $75,000 raised

Get your running shoes ready. It's time to start training for the sixth annual Comer Kids' Classic 5K Run, Walk, and Kids' Dash. All proceeds from the race go to the new University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital, which opened in February 2005.

Comer Children's Hospital is built upon a rich tradition of excellence in pediatric care, deeply impacting the patients and families we serve. The hospital provides care for families as close as Hyde Park and as far away as China. Your participation or sponsorship will enable us to continue to provide the best possible care to patients.

The Comer Kids’ Classic is a family-friendly event for people to come out, cheer participants, relax and have fun. This year, runners and spectators may enjoy interactive games and other fun activities provided by the adidas Mobile Tour interactive trailer.
