Back for its 28th year, the ABC7 Gibbons 5K Run and 3K Walk brings more than a thousand people to Chicago’s lakefront to run, walk, and raise funds in search of a cure for all blood cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes. The event consists of a chip-timed 5K run and a 3K walk, followed by a party in Grant Park with music, food, refreshments and partner tents. Registration required. Proceeds from the event benefit the Leukemia Research Foundation.

Event cost: $25 (must either raise it or pay it yourself to register)

Event time: 6:25-8 p.m. April 16, 2022
