Race Day: The Historic Scenic Route

Definitely a route worth the run and such a beautiful view to enjoy. The amazing finish is at the golden Statue of the Republic after traveling through Jackson Park, where the 1893 World Columbian exposition was held, winding through the University of Chicago Campus and the gorgeous Hyde Park neighborhood. The course then takes runners along Chicago’s south Lake Shore Drive, taking in the views of Lake Michigan, Chicago skyline and the Science and Industry Museum campus before a triumphant finish at the golden Statue of the Republic. How cool is it to run the southbound lakeshore drive while taking in the skyline, the Museum of Science and Industry.
