The story I wrote about the tours for Newcity should be published in tomorrow's issue (so go grab a paper if you're in Chicago!) but it's also online now.
For anyone that's thought about signing up for one of these tours but hasn't done it yet, I would definitely recommend checking at least one of them out. Each 5K is only $25 and you get to see the city from a new perspective by running through historical areas early in the morning (before most people are even heading into work). Since taking the tours I've already followed some of the paths that the tours follow on some of my own morning runs.
On Monday morning my wife and I ran to the Bean - it's amazing how different it looks when you're the only ones around.
Where are all the people?!?! |
And it doesn't hurt that afterwards they send you pictures of yourself sliding down sculptures.
Starting next week City Running Tours of Chicago will be teaming up with Friends of the Chicago River as part of Chicago River Day 20/20 to raise awareness about ecology and preservation regarding the river and to dole out historical information. It should be pretty cool.
