CHICAGO MCCORMICK PLACE TO CHINATOWN PING TOM PARK - 6K
Runner on the ground - ERICA
McCormick Place is a great starting point to tour Chinatown and one of our beautiful “hidden gems” – Ping Tom Memorial Park.
We’ll pick you up at McCormick Place and run over to Chinatown. We’ll see the Dragon Gate, Chinatown Square and the the Nine Dragon Wall. This is a favorite neighborhood for Chicago Marathon runners and it’s easy to see why.
Then, we’ll run to Ping Tom Memorial Park. The park has murals, statues and fantastic river and skyline views. It offers a unique perspective on the city and is a place that some Chicagoans never see. You’ll get some amazing pictures that are unique and make lifelong memories.
After enjoying the park, we’ll head back to the hotel via a quick run through the Prairie District.

Want to give a shout out to Erica and the Chinatown route! Erica was amazing, she did a mashup for our tour, met us at our hotel in downtown Chicago, did a lot of downtown sights, then down Michigan Ave and ended in Chinatown with an amazing view! She took us to many hidden gem spots, pointed out very interesting tidbits all along our run. Erica kept a great pace for our group, and we were a mix of fitness levels! And she took pictures and shared a photo album at the end! This was my first running tour and I had such a blast, I would definitely recommend this and look forward to doing another one!
