The celebration grows! Our second annual HBCU Run & Brunch brings even more energy to Chicago’s South Side—featuring a brand-new 10K run alongside the classic 5K run/walk. Whether you’re chasing a PR, strolling with friends, or just coming for the brunch vibes, it’s your moment to rep your school, your crew, and your city.

The HBCU Run & Brunch is a Hillman Recreation Foundation initiative that exists to celebrate Black excellence, promote holistic health, and unite HBCU/PBI students, alumni, and Divine Nine members through movement, culture, and community. As the first event of its kind on Chicago’s far South Side, our mission is to ignite a lifestyle shift—honoring our legacy while empowering participants to stride toward better health, deeper connection, and collective joy. We run for wellness. We brunch for the culture. We gather to thrive.
