Last year's shirts, featured off to the right, highlight the most important aspects of the event:
The most obvious being the gray-scale outline of the Chicago city, accentuating the beloved gridlike nature of the city.
The red line, representing the route that we took getting into the city and finishing at Buckingham Fountain.
The Chicago star symbols, both behind the big lettering and at the end of the route, keeping us grounded in the community and city-wide vision we have for this event.
The holiday-themed colors of the text throughout the design, emphasizing the celebratory time of year for many people in the community and city.
We aim to create a new design for our 3rd annual 2026 event, available for purchase before and then distribution on the morning of the run. Stay tuned for more information!Â
