For return to training information, see USATF guidance document. Races Diane Graham-Henry 5K Race Walk Chicago Walkers Club is proud to host a USA Track and Field (USATF)-certified race each fall. Named for our long-time coach Diane Graham-Henry, this USATF-judged race is also the Illinois and Midwest Region 5K race walk championships. It is well-attended by people from Chicago and neighboring states, often up to 30 participants. Raffle prizes for competitors and volunteers, and awards for competitors, immediately follow the race. The small size makes it not intimidating and an excellent opportunity for your first race. Our new course is on the Lakefront path just north of Diversey Parkway. 2023 Race Our 36th Annual Diane Graham-Henry Race Walk was on Sunday September 10, 2023. Click here for the course map.
