It's a beautiful month for a run, but did you know that some winter events bring exercise INSIDE at McCormick Place? 🏃
We're throwing back to the Chicago Auto Show ""Miles Per Hour Run,"" a 2.4-mile course through McCormick Place. Developed by the Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA) in partnership with the Chicago Auto Show, this one-hour run challenges participants to cover as much distance as possible in 60 minutes.
Runners loop a course that winds through the Show floor, past incredible vehicle displays and activations, and across the Lake Shore Drive skybridge to the Lakeside Center with its Lake Michigan views. It's one more way that events are creating unique experiences for their attendees every day in Chicago.
