The Best running place in the city - is head East - to the Lake Shore Bike Path - and then go north or south- safe routes and wonderful views of the lake and city - Also Grant Park - not as far as you want to go - if a fun place to run through.. Have fun

Check for the local running stores in the downtown area - most will have a group run a few times a week. I have done that in many cities when I travel for work, if only to get oriented. AP

Hi and welcome to Chicago! As noted, the lakefront path is the perfect place to run. If you head east on any cross street of Wabash, you will run into the path. It goes 27 miles in total between north and south on the lakefront. The water fountains and bathrooms should be up and running as well.

As Andy also noted, local running stores are great too. Here is a link to the Fleet Feet runs: http://www.fleetfeetchicago.com/...chedule-pages-46.php . That is probably going to be a cab ride away for you, but I hear they are a fun group. (You could also hop on a Divvy bike to get there!)

Thanks

I'll go for a lakefront run :D
Will be most easy thing to do.
