THE ROUTE:

Walking from the Ceremony Site to the Wellness Village and Back Again

The walk route to and from the Ceremony Site and Wellness Village will consist mostly of sidewalks and city streets. There may be occasions where the route will take you through a city park.  The route will not include trail hiking.

The route itself will be clearly marked with directional signage and other markings. This is how you will navigate the route during the event—by following the signs.  There is also a route support team called ‘the Sweep Team,’ who are available to help you while you are on the road between Quick Stops and Rest Stops.

Overall, the route will take you through some of Chicago’s most beautiful neighborhoods, and is designed to be safe, fun and interesting!
