If there's one thing we learned, it's that running together is always better. Thanks to the over 350 of you who came out to celebrate Global Running Day with us as we took on a 5K Strava challenge to Navy Pier.
We grounded in our reasons for running, pounded the pavement from Halsted, Fulton, and Adler, and truly earned that post-run brew.
Grateful for the chance to run together as one city. Way to crush it, Chicago!
