In the spirit of Sports Day, join JETAA Chicago for our FIRST virtual 3K walk/5K run! Complete the distance on your own or with family/friends anytime before October 11th, and share your pictures via Instagram with the hashtags #JETSetGo and #JETAA5K ! If you have any areas around where you live or run that remind you of/connect you to Japan, we'd love to see pictures of those places shared on Instagram.
Tickets are free with the option to purchase a custom-designed JETAA Chicago t-shirt (available on our Etsy store!). We also have a Spotify playlist for your running motivation!
First, join our pre-run training event on September 28th for the chance to listen to Coach Lori from Chicago Endurance Sports! Lori is a veteran runner of all distances and will share her knowledge and love of the sport of running. We will discuss tips, tricks and best practices to run your best race — for beginners and veteran runners alike!
Finally, celebrate your run and learn some facts about Sports Day in Japan at our post-run Happy Hour on October 11th! We'll also be giving away a gift certificate to Fleet Feet (ships nationwide) so you can stock up on your favorite gear for your next race.
This event is for JET alumni and Friends of JET.
