Sponsor the Frank Lloyd Wright Races
Why Sponsor the Frank Lloyd Wright Races with the Park District of Oak Park?
A Chicagoland Tradition: Celebrating its 50th year in 2026, this popular annual event is one of the longest running racing events in Illinois for individuals, friends, and families participating in a 5K Run/Walk, 10K Run, and Youth Mile for ages 7-14 and Lil’ Runners ages 3-5. Approximately 2,000 participants enjoy a run, jog, or walk through the tree-lined streets of Oak Park and take in the remarkable architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright as they make their way through the uniquely architecturally scenic course.
Support our Community: Sponsors enjoy a meaningful and well attended event with an opportunity for direct interaction with runners and spectators from Oak Park and surrounding areas. All volunteers and runners receive a long-sleeved shirt wherein all proceeds from runner registrations go towards financial assistance for Park District programing to better serve eligible members of the community.
Available sponsorship levels: Presenting ($4,500), Youth Mile ($1,800), Community ($1,500), On-site ($500/$350 nonprofit) or In-kind
