Our Mission
"Dick Pond Racing is a community of runners sharing and continuing their personal journeys and running experiences. Whether it's training, racing, pacing, or having fun, we strive to inspire each other for the purpose of providing a fulfilling and enriching experience regardless of ability."
Our Racing
There are literally hundreds of races in Chicagoland that you can choose to run. We encourage you to run as many of these great races as you like. However, in order to provide focus and support to Dick Pond Racing, we have identified several key races and created a Race Calendar located under What's Happening? to help bring our community of runners together as much as possible around three key factors:
Our Local Communities! - We hope to make the greatest impact with support and participation at races in our local communities. These local races have great atmosphere already and we believe they provide a wonderful opportunity to come together in support of friends and training partners. In pursuing our goal of building a stronger Dick Pond Racing community, we will be inviting our entire DPR community to join each of our stores at one of their local races during the season. We hope you can join them.
Your Goals! - Perhaps you have a goal race in mind? It is our goal to have you ready for it with weekly support and training. We’ve listed several popular races that we believe many runners will be participating in for a personal goal. If you don't see your race, let us know your training races. Your participation will help determine how organized our presence will be at these races, and our focus for our training.
Just Having FUN! – These are great race alternatives for a break from the everyday. Sometimes you just need a change of pace or to try something new. You’ll notice we have a track meet, a triathlon, and of course your holiday races on this list. As the season goes on, be on the lookout for more suggestions to have some fun at the bottom of our races page.
Our Events
Events, NOT races, are great opportunities to get together as a team for bonding, community activism, you name it. If it’s coming up, we’ll do our best to let you know on our Calendar and Dick Pond Racing communications.
