COME AND LEARN TO ENJOY RUNNING WITHOUT SHOES! Previously considered by many as an "extreme sport", barefoot running (BFR) is now becoming recognized as a more healthful alternative to shod running. Many "joggers" are surprised to learn that BFR is both accessible to the non-elite and enjoyable by the non-masochist! Commonly asked questions about BFR: Q: Why would I want to run barefoot? A: Because you will learn to stop "jogging" (bouncing up & down) and start RUNNING, the smooth gait evolu …

Don't allow this winter to slip by not having contributed anything positive to your health- get in shape while everyone else is indoors hibernating. My goal is to meet 2-3 times a week, beginning at the end of November, at Portage Park and complete the 9 week Couch Potato to 5k program. Once we've completed that program we can continue adding to our runs until we're able to complete 5 miles comfortably. I am a beginner runner - we'll be beginning the program with only 1 mile of running at a pace …

Myself and my coworkers are runners looking for some motivation during the winter months. We work at element wellness located at 233 W North Ave (near North and Wells) and want to start a weekly running group. We will meet on Wednesday evenings at 6pm at element and go out for 3-4 mile run and come back.

I am looking to recruit runners for the 2013 Bank of America Chicago Marathon to run with Ronald McDonald House Charities. Last year Team RMHC had over 400 runners and raised over $700,000 for the charity. As you might imagine, many of the children and families served by Ronald McDonald House Charities are running their own marathon—as they fight disease, illness and injury, and persevere through months or even years of hospital visits, surgeries and outpatient recovery. These children are worki …
It's time for our collective neighborhoods to have their own running group. All levels, all paces, all distances welcome. I recommend starting with one or two weeknight runs? Those interested we can end the evening with a beer at a local bar.

Several of the American Back Center are runners, mostly recreational runners that are looking to keep motivated during the winter. There are several races co …

Looking for women in the South Suburbs who would like to start a running club. Although we say amateurs, we would love to have experienced runners to help us along the way!!

Other surrounding areas like Hinsdale, and Darien, and Westmont have a very strong running population and great places to run.
