2013 BIO 5K RUN/WALK ONLINE REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.

DAY OF RACE WALK UP REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.

 WALK UP REGISTRATION OPENS UP AT 7:45 AM.

Welcome to the registration site for the 2013 BIO 5K Run/Walk hosted by Astellas. We look forward to your participation. Your $30 registration fee will be donated to Science Buddies. 

The flat 5K course  starts and finishes in Grant Park. It takes you through beautiful downtown Chicago and along Lake Michigan. The race is conveniently located just blocks from the Chicago Hilton and other major host hotels near the Magnificent Mile.

To register for the BIO 5K Run/Walk simply click the 'Register Now' button above and enter your registration information.

For Astellas, science is not only the foundation of our business: it’s our passion. That’s why we’re donating the registration proceeds from the BIO 5K to Science Buddies, a nonprofit that helps students enhance their knowledge in science & technology. We’re also hoping to  spark interest in science locally by asking the hundreds of participants to wear Astellas-provided lab coats during the 5K Run/Walk. Prizes will be awarded to the craziest scientist costume so consider bringing safety goggles, crazy wigs or other props!

We look forward to seeing you in Chicago!
