Running Routes

I am staying at the Palmer House Hilton on E. Monroe in April. Can anyone recommend some nearby running routes or groups? I am looking for a 5-8 mile course.

Running Routes

Your close to 24 miles of lakefront running paths. Just head east on Monroe toward Lake Michigan. chicagoparkdistrict.com/index.cfm/…home.cfm

Running Routes

You can drop by Niketown to run w/ a group on Thursday nights and I think weekends. Fleet feet sports also has running groups. That%26#39;s a short ride on the El (brown line) north from the Palmer House.

The sun raises over the lake and it is completely gorgeous. I usually run around that time in the morning (a little before 7 am now). It is safe - just be careful of the bikers!

The lake front path is fantastic and in April it won%26#39;t be swarmed with beach goes clogging up the trail. If there is a better urban biking/jogging path in the country, I haven%26#39;t seen it. Great city and lake views, and miles and miles of trail. Terrain is flat as can be as well.
