C4 Miles : Making Strides for Mental Health

Kudos to all who helped make our third annual C4 Miles a huge success! To all the runners, walkers, volunteers, sponsors, exhibitors, and folks who came by to cheer, thank you for your support! YOU made it happen.

Congratulations to Eric Geissert of Chicago, whose winning time of 23:54 made him the top male finisher and fastest in a field of 280 runners. Erin Rhodehamel was the top female finisher with a time of 27.13, edging out Kathy Daniels by four seconds.

You can see all of the race results at mychicagoathlete.com.

A big shout-out to WGN sports anchor Pat Tomasulo, our guest emcee who kept things lively at the main stage, and to JACK-FM and WILV-FM whose music pumped us up at the start and finish lines.

But most of all, thanks to our volunteers who kept runners on course, distributed water and bagels, and handed out goody bags and t-shirts.

Meanwhile, thanks for supporting C4 and our message that TREATMENT
WORKS.

C4 Miles Goes Digital!

Commuters at Clark and Clark check out the new digital advertisement for C4 Miles. Elsewhere on the CTA, advertisements for the May 2 race can be viewed on the Red Line at Addison, and in the interior of Brown Line cars.

In light of the catastrophe in Haiti, Chicago Athlete magazine and race directors sent aid to Haiti in the form of unused and extra race t-shirts to the Haitian Congress to Fortify Haiti nonprofit organization.

Seven months after our second annual C4 Miles: Making Strides for Mental Health, we still had unused t-shirts from the race. We donated an entire box of unused t-shirts, about 100 in total. While C4 strives to help the Chicago community, we recognize that it is good to contribute to our global community as well.

A Special Thanks to our Generous Sponsors!
