The 2022 Bank of America Chicago 13.1 steps off next month, making its comeback from a two-year pandemic-induced hiatus.

From the race route to packet pick-up days to post-race swag, here's what you need to know about the inaugural summer event.

Registration

Thousands of runners will descend on the streets of Chicago for the Bank of America 13.1 on June 5 — and if you're looking to join the 13.1-mile venture around the city, there's still time to sign up.

The event will accept registrations until its 8,000-person capacity is reached, or June 3. To secure a spot at the starting line, click here.

Race Route

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.

Runners will get their start at Central Park Avenue on Washington Boulevard in Garfield Park. The first wave will step off at 7 a.m.

Finish Line Swag

All participants will be given a bib number and timing device, as well as finish line drip, 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. The matte black medal is scored with silver text and drapes from a patterned band with red, blue, silver and black accents that can be found on the shirt, too.
