Travis Barker brought his Run Travis Run series to Chicago, turning a simple 5K into a high-energy wellness event along the Lake Michigan waterfront. The event featured a pre-run performance by students from School of Rock, a diverse group of runners, and a post-run set by Paradox with special guest N8NOFACE. Barker's presence, though heavily guarded, was a powerful symbol of his journey of resilience and his mission to inspire.

In a move celebrating its cultural impact, the mayor declared an official "Riot Day.”
