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.

無料ガイドを受け取るYour 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.
Chicagoでのランに付き合ってくれる人を探してる?地元の人が待ってるよ。知らない街をひとりで走るより、その道をすでに走り慣れた住人に加わろう。彼が自分のコースを開いて、ペースをきみに合わせて、動きながら街を見せてくれる。
タイムが目当てじゃない?多くのガイドが、ゆっくりペースの発見ランを用意している——ほとんど歩くようなジョグで、街をタイムと競わずに見て回るんだ。見晴らしのいい場所で立ち止まり、じっくり眺める。これは地元の人と一緒に、動きながらChicagoを発見する方法で、何もかもを見られるくらいのペースだよ。
走れるよ。TourMyRun では、ランは小さなランナーのグループを迎える地元の人が率いる。旅の途中の人も、地元の人も、みんなで一緒のランに加わって、ひとりで走らずにすむ。これは TourMyRun のランのグループ——住人が率いるもので、外部のクラブやクルーじゃない。
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.
