✨ Divas® Half Marathon & 5K – Chicago ✨ | Postponed but Still Fabulous!

New Date: Spring 2026

GLITZ. GLAM. GIRL POWER.

The Divas® Half Marathon & 5K in Chicago is all about pink tutus, feather boas, and unstoppable energy! While we were ready to strut our sparkle down the streets of Chicago, we have an important update:

💔 The 2025 Divas® Half Marathon & 5K – Chicago is officially postponed.

This decision was not made lightly, but the safety, experience, and satisfaction of our Divas come first. While we may be hitting pause on the party this time, trust us, the next edition will be bigger, brighter, and even more fabulous than ever before! 

We are working behind the scenes on rescheduling details and will provide all registered participants with updates soon. We appreciate your patience and your Diva spirit during this time.

What happens next?
All registered runners will be notified via email with options and next steps. Please be sure to follow us on social media and check your inbox for updates.

Whether you're here for the tiaras, the tutus, or that fierce finish line feeling, stay tuned  because the Divas are NOT done dancing yet.

With love, sparkle, and sass,
The Divas® Running Series Team
