Loyal to the Craft x Run Travis Run: Chicago Recap

The Loyal to the Craft team hit the road again—this time to Chicago—for another unforgettable Run Travis Run event! Our mission has always been to inspire the next generation of musicians, and this stop was packed with everything we love: live music, community, and creativity.

Setting the Tone: School of Rock Takes the Stage

Before runners even hit the starting line, we kicked off the morning with a high-energy performance from an incredible School of Rock band. These young musicians set the perfect tone for the day, showing everyone what happens when passion and practice meet. Watching the crowd cheer them on reminded us exactly why we do what we do—music builds confidence, connection, and community.

Fender Guitar + Amp Giveaway

We teamed up with our friends at Fender Guitars USA to give one lucky winner a brand-new Fender guitar and amp. The excitement was unreal as participants lined up to enter and talk gear with our crew. Few things beat seeing someone’s face light up when they realize they’re about to take home the tools to fuel their musical journey.

Sonos Sound + Loyal Vibes

To top it off, Sonos hooked us up with sleek, powerful speakers for our Loyal to the Craft display. The setup turned heads all day and filled the space with rich sound—because when you’re talking music, the experience should feel as good as it sounds.

Why We Show Up

Run Travis Run isn’t just a race; it’s a celebration of movement, motivation, and music. Partnering with brands that share that same creative energy—like Fender and Sonos—makes every stop on this tour even more special. Chicago showed up strong, and we couldn’t be prouder to be part of it.

We’ll see you at the next race. Until then, keep playing loud, running fast, and staying loyal to your craft.
