Review
"If you are a veteran runner of the Chicago area, or recently moved here, here is a book that will help you find all the great running spots. Barrera and Wineberg asked Chicago's runners, both elite and novice, where they liked to train. Everything is here: directions to the location, course routes to run, even water stops and mile markers. Chicago Running Guide is easy to use and will see many dashboards!"
