About the Event

The Miles for Manufacturing (M4M) 5K Run/Walk is a beloved tradition at IMTS, uniting the manufacturing community around two shared passions: staying active and giving back. Launched at IMTS 2014, the event has raised more than $250,000 to date-all of which goes directly to STEM programs around the country that prepare the next generation of innovators, makers and problem solvers; that 100% impact is possible because IMTS covers every production expense- from shirts, timing gear to permits and signage. Thanks to this support, every sponsorship dollar and every runner's registration fee is invested in manufacturing education.

About Chicago

Learn more about the host city, Chicago.

Chicago is the home of the blues and the truth of jazz, the heart of comedy and the idea of the skyscraper. Here, the age of railroads found its center, and airplanes followed suit. "Stormy, Husky, Brawling / City of Big Shoulders," Chicago is a Heartland boomtown, its ethos defined by urban planner Daniel Burnham's immortal vision: "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood." It is one of the world's great cities and the third largest city in the United States, behind only New York City and Los Angeles.
