On May 13 at 9:00 a.m., hundreds of Chicago residents will run brave through the city streets wearing boxers and briefs during the family-friendly Undy Run/Walk. Hosted by the Colon Cancer Alliance, this lighthearted event encourages participants to wear silly boxers, briefs or costumes in support of knocking colon cancer out of the top three cancer killers.

Funds raised through the Chicago Undy Run/Walk support both local and national colon cancer prevention, research and patient support programs. Use the code CHICAGOIST when you register and receive $5 off. Register at undyrunwalk.org!  ​
