Rosehill Cemetery 'Crypt' 5K Run/Walk

Check out fall’s most ‘spirited’ event! It’s the 12th annual 5K on the grounds of the north side’s historic Rosehill Cemetery. Run or walk on the sprawling 350-acre Victorian-era cemetery that opened in 1864. It’s by far the largest cemetery in the City of Chicago (and second largest in Illinois).

With most participants coming back year-after-year, you know this event isn’t one to miss.  From the fully candle-lit course to the lit statues throughout, there’s no need to be AFRAID TO RUN IN THE DARK (or is there?!).  Have the chance to see the many monuments, mausoleums and unique headstones! Plus, don’t forget the eternal spirits who reside in Rosehill. Among them: more than 10 Chicago mayors, Oscar Mayer, John G. Shedd, Cubs’ announcer Jack Brickhouse, legendary adman Leo Burnett, Sears founder Julius Rosenwald and scores of Civil War vets are just a few of the souls who call Rosehill home.

In addition, there will also be a post run/walk party directly across the street at Fireside Inn!
