Thousands of runners will descend on the streets of Chicago for the Bank of America Chicago 13.1 next month — and if you're looking to join the inaugural half marathon venture around the city, there's still time to sign up.
The half marathon is still accepting registrations for its race taking place June 5. To secure a spot at the starting line, click here.
Registration is accompanied with a $95 entry fee currently, but the fee will increase to $115 at 11:59 p.m. May 19.
The event will close its registration June 3, or when the race's 8,000-person capacity is reached.
Following registration, all participants will be given a bib number and timing device, as well as finish line swag, including a participant bag and Nike shirt designed by local artist Lefty Out There. A finisher's medal also will be awarded to runners at the end of the race.
To gear up for the race, participants can head to one of two available packet pick-up days at 150 W. Roosevelt Rd.
Packets will be available for pick up from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. June 3, or from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 4.

Throughout the race, runners will be guided through Humboldt Park, Garfield Park and Douglass Park, according to the course revealed by organizers early April. The scene largely encompasses the West Side of the city. To view the full route, click here.
