Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Chicago is a city you run between the lake and the skyline. Along Lake Michigan, the Lakefront Trail rolls out nearly twenty miles of flat, fast pavement, skyscrapers on one side and open water on the other — from first light, it's where the whole city runs. In the heart of the Loop, the Chicago Riverwalk hugs the water's edge past drawbridges and Art Deco façades, while The 606 (the Bloomingdale Trail) crosses the northwest neighbourhoods on a raised former rail line. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Lakefront from Navy Pier, the Lincoln Park loops around the lagoons, the skyline view from Museum Campus and Northerly Island. Not a sightseeing coach, not a random jog around your hotel: one hour of running with someone who lives here, at your pace, who knows the right wind, the right turns and the right tempo.

Para que te lleven a correr en Chicago, reserva un run en TourMyRun: un corredor local te recibe con su grupo en un punto de encuentro y sales por su recorrido, a tu ritmo, lo que dura un run, a menudo alrededor de una hora. Nunca corres solo y no tienes nada que organizar.

Consigue la guía gratisYour guide isn't a service provider — they're a Chicagoan who loves to run and wants to show you their city. They adjust the pace and distance to your level, pick the route to suit the time of day and the lake wind — a quiet Lakefront in the morning, the Riverwalk and the Loop at golden hour — and share the Chicago you won't find in guidebooks. Many of our Chicago guides are running-club members (parkrun, neighbourhood run crews) and sports students who know their training loops by heart. You leave with a real memory — and often a GPX track to run again on your own.
¿Buscas a alguien que te acompañe en un run en Chicago? Un local te espera. En lugar de correr solo por una ciudad que no conoces, te unes a un vecino que ya corre por este terreno: te abre su recorrido, ajusta el ritmo al tuyo y te enseña la ciudad en movimiento.
¿No vienes a por la marca? Muchos guías proponen un run de descubrimiento a ritmo lento: un trote suave, casi al paso, para ver la ciudad sin cruzarla contrarreloj. Paras en los miradores y te tomas el tiempo de mirar: es una forma de descubrir Chicago moviéndote con un local, a un ritmo que te deja observarlo todo.
Sí. En TourMyRun, un run lo lidera un local que recibe a un grupo pequeño de corredores: te unes a otras personas, de paso o del lugar, durante un run colectivo, sin tener que correr solo. Es el grupo de un run de TourMyRun —guiado por un vecino—, no un club ni un grupo de fuera.
Public, well-known routes you can run on your own — a solid plan B to get moving right away. But the best of TourMyRun is still discovering them with a local who takes you, at your pace.
A flat paved path along Lake Michigan, with a runners-only lane, heading toward Fullerton and Lincoln Park. The Chicagoans' go-to run — mind the lake wind. A continuous ribbon of nearly 18 miles if you want to go long.
Start : Ohio Street Beach / Navy Pier (Streeterville)
A former rail line turned elevated linear park, from Ashland to Ridgeway, through the hip northwest neighbourhoods. A flat out-and-back away from traffic.
Start : Damen Ave or Milwaukee Ave access (Wicker Park)
A walk right at the river's edge between drawbridges and skyscrapers, extendable to the lake via the Lakefront Trail. The best of Chicago architecture at running pace.
Start : Lake Shore Drive / DuSable Bridge, along the Chicago River
A shaded loop in the city's largest park, around North Pond and the lagoons, between the zoo and the lakeshore. Perfect for a quiet morning endurance run.
Start : North Avenue Beach / LaSalle Drive footbridge
Your guide is a passionate amateur, not a professional. They are not paid: what you pay covers the organisation and a contribution towards the costs they incur — never a wage, never a service contract. It's a run between runners, not a ticketed tour.
Chicago is one of the flattest big cities: the Lakefront Trail, the Riverwalk and The 606 are flat and rolling, ideal for cruising. Every listing shows distance and pace, and your guide adapts the rhythm to your level.
Usually around 1 hour, but it depends on the run you pick — each listing shows distance, duration and pace.
Yes. Chicago guides often offer sunrise slots on the Lakefront and weekday runs — ideal between meetings or before a day of sightseeing. In winter, favour sheltered slots and the milder hours.
Absolutely. If you know your routes by heart and enjoy running with others, you can offer your runs and choose your slots. It's voluntary: your costs are covered, never a wage.
