Get Your Racing Shoes On In 2010 – Upcoming Races In Chicago
If you live in Chicago, running outside may be the last thing on your mind right now (unless you’re one of those crazy people that runs in the ice and snow.) But believe it or not, races are springing up again! It’s time to get your racing shoes on 
We’ve made it a little easier for you this year by putting together a list of some of the upcoming races through the end of April. They are mostly 5Ks, but there are also a few 8Ks, 10Ks, and even a 50k. And actually, the first three events listed are Stair Climbing Races. Trust us, stairs are a lot LOT harder than they may seem. Take a look at the list below, pick your favorite (or pick two!) and get yourself signed up before they fill up!! And please, comment if you know of any other races that we’ve missed. We’ll see you out there!!
