In Chicago’s Running Scene, There’s A Place — And A Pace — For Everyone

from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons

Why are all your friends running a half-marathon? How come the park is swarmed with run clubs every weekend? Should you be waking up at the crack of dawn to get your miles in? Running surged in popularity as a solo sport during COVID, and has burst onto the public scene in the years since. For example, the Chicago Marathon neared 50,000 runners in 2023, a threshold it’s expected to break this year. Reset digs into Chicago’s rich running culture with three runners and organizers.
