City of Park Ridge | We Run & Walk Park Ridge
Sponsored by the Park Ridge Community Health Commission

Lace up your sneakers, Park Ridge!
Did you know Park Ridge has approximately 140 miles of City streets? This fall, the Community Health Commission invites you to explore them all!
From October 1 through December 31, challenge yourself to cover as much ground as possible. Whether you’re running your morning route, walking the dog, taking a power walk with friends, or strolling through Uptown, every single step counts toward conquering the map!
Who can participate? Park Ridge residents, families, runners and walkers of all ages!
Where? Streets throughout Park Ridge
How to Participate
- Register: Fill out our quick registration form to sign up for the challenge.
- Track Your Progress: Connecting to CityStrides is optional but recommended for an easy way to automatically track your progress on the interactive map. A $15 fee covers three months of supporter-level access to CityStrides. We want everyone to be able to participate, so if the fee is a barrier, let us know on the registration form to receive a complimentary access code—no questions asked.
- Get Moving: Record your activities between October 1 and December 31, 2026, and see how much of Park Ridge you can cover!
