CHICAGO TOWER TO TOWER BUCKET LIST - 10K
Runner on the ground - ERICA
Chicago is known for its iconic buildings, beautiful parks, monuments and history. This “bucket” list 10K loop starts at one iconic skyscraper and loops around to another.
We’ll start at the Willis Tower or the John Hancock Tower and run on the Magnificent Mile and Riverwalk. We’ll see the sights in “The Loop” and north of the River and even check out Lake Michigan at Oak Street Beach. From the Art Institute to the iconic art and awesome architecture in the city, we’ll check off many items on your Chicago bucket list.

I’ve been a visitor to Chicago over 25 times but recently experienced the BEST tour of the city on a cold and windy day thanks to Erica – running tour guide extraordinaire! I was hesitant to book a guided running tour given the cold weather and the uncertainty surrounding the pace of the tour but am sure glad that I took the chance! Erica adjusted the pace perfectly to my level and shared incredibly interesting stories about Lake Michigan, the Magnificent Mile, Chicago’s skyline, the Bean, the Riverwalk, the history of the L tracks and the Navy Pier’s Ferris Wheel and more. It was a deep dive into the soul of Chicago’s design and she connected the human stories to the steel structures in an engaging, fun and informative way. She told me stories of the visionaries and rivalries that built the city. If you want to understand the “why” behind the Windy City’s beauty book with Erica! Huge thanks to Run Chicago and Erica for a memorable morning!

Erica did a fantastic job in guiding the running tour with the Chicago River Walk, the run along Lake Michigan, and the iconic buildings in the city. Chicago has an amazing history. We loved the entire tour! We highly recommend this tour with Erica!

3 of us over from the UK had an amazing run through a hot Chicago with Erica. It was such a great way to see my new favourite American city. Erica is a phenomenal guide and within a couple of hours she made us feel like locals. Best way to see the city.

Just book it already. Erica is amazing. She picked us up at our hotel first thing in the morning and had an amazing route planned that included both architectural highlights and public art sculptures. Erica was punctual,prepared, engaging and fun to run with. Like having a friend pick you up for a super fun morning adventure. A great way to see architecture off the River and was a lovely prequel to the boat architecture tours. Erica took lots of pictures and videos. Probably our best vacation pictures. Sooooo fun!!
