Polar Dash
1/ 10/1 5 | C HI C AG O , I L
Runners braved single-digit temperatures this year at the Polar Dash, which featured a variety of race distances. In addition to the usual 5K and 10K events, this year’s Polar Dash took inspiration from the calendar year and added a 15 mile and 1500 meter race as well. Those feeling particularly ambitious had the opportunity to take on the Yeti or Super Yeti Challenges, which involved running the 10K, 5K and 1500 or the 15 mile, 5K and 1500, respectively.
