Anyone know of a good physical therapist who specializes in treating runners? I'm in Logan/Humboldt Park but anywhere relatively close would be great....

I'm running a half at the end of the month but I'm dealing with a ton of annoying injuries interfering with my training. Need help pls!

My friends and I are headed to Chicago and we want to run in every state. We know where to run in Chicago.

But we are debating heading to just across the boarder in Gary, IN. I know Gary has a reputation for being pretty rough.

Would Wolf Lake park be a good spot for a morning 5k?

The Lakefront Trail gets plenty of attention, but Chicago has so many neighbourhoods with interesting routes to explore. Do you have a favourite street, park, or quieter path where you enjoy running? Always interested in discovering places beyond the usual routes.

Hey folks I know some of yall probably want to run the 2024 Chicago Marathon. Instead of relying on the drawing I wanted to share a guaranteed way to get to the starting line. WBEZ and The Chicago-Sun Times now have a charity team and are looking for runners. Joining the team is a great way to secure your spot in the race and also support independent local journalism.

As a WBEZ & Sun-Times runner you’ll get an official team race shirt, a virtual training program, fundraising support, team dinner, events on race weekend and more. Join the team and be part of something bigger than the race itself.

Hello, anyone last minute thinking of not running? Lmk!

Fucked up my ankle. Can’t run the race. Don’t want it to go to waste.

I’ll give it away for free and have found someone online. The marathon doesn’t have undercover agents trying to buy bibs do they?

Whats the best way to get a bib for 29th ? I know it’s full , but any transfers possible or any other ways ?

Hi everyone. I have a pair of size 11.5 Nike invincible 3 that I have put maybe 10 miles on. They unfortunately do not work well for me and would like to get rid of them. If anyone is interested send me a message.

Signed up for the Prairie State Half Marathon but cannot attend anymore because of injury. Was wondering if I could transfer to someone interested.

Race is September 30th in Long Grove IL and ticket price is $96 with all fees already included.

Race includes a 1/4 zip (picture included on website), along with all the regular stuff like a medal, snacks & drinks postrace, etc.

Lmk if interested!

Hello I am looking for someones bib who is unable to run the marathon and not looking to defer their entry . Want to participate in a Marathon for the first time .

Has anyone been out on the 606 or Lakefront path today? Yesterday afternoon the 606 was un-runable and that was my backup plan because I heard the LFP was a mess. I would love it if they salted... or just sit around and wait for it to get warmer and melt

does anyone know of public/open tracks in the northern neighborhoods besides montrose? if not, where does everyone do their speed workouts?

I’m currently training for Grandma’s Marathon in late June and this is my first marathon training session without a running group; I previously trained for the Chicago Marathon with CARA. Training is currently going fine but I’m wondering if anyone else is currently training and would be interested in meeting up for long Saturday runs? I’m on the NW side of the city in Mayfair but open to meeting up wherever.

Hi Chicago Runners, My sister didn't register in time for the BoA half in June. If there's anyone who has a bib she can buy, please let me know!

Hello runners !!

I've been doing some research on recreational cross country (not road) races, and been coming up short so I figured l'd ask you guys. I love cross country since I’m a fellow cross country runner that would love running XC again if possible..Is there a national organization that has a competitive team aspect for post-collegiate non-elite cross country? I appreciate all the info I could get !

where are some good hills to train on near lakeview east/lincoln park? i cant find any on strava.

Hello there,

I work for a nonprofit in Chicago that is a charity partner of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Bank of America partners with charitable organizations to partake in the event, and runners can join a cause that is important to them. The 2023 race day is October 8. The runner lottery selection is over, but you can still get in with a charity like ours. If you are interested in joining our team to support victims and survivors of gender-based violence, please PM for more information.

Thank you in advance!

You had me at mimosa! Time is running out to sign up for the Imerman Angels Brunch Run 5K & Walk on Saturday, June 8th. Don't miss the best 5k of the summer, including an eight-entree brunch, beer, mimosas and more! Use code BACON19 for $10 off registration at www.brunchrun5k.com.

There are two really large 2-3 inch deep puddles on the pedestrian path (branch closest to the lake) just about halfway along. You will want to switch to the cycle path (closest to the road) at the Barry underpass going south or at the fork just past Diversey Harbor Bridge for this portion of your run unless you are training for a steeplechase and want to practice running with soakers.

It looks like the puddles will last for a while as they are still snowbanked in and there is major puddles in the park on the lake side of the snowbank as well.

[oops meant Diversey Harbor in the title]
