There’s something about running in the fall that just feels so RIGHT!  Maybe it’s the crisp air, the leaves changing, or maybe even a warm drink waiting for you at the end (hot chocolate, anyone?)  Fall brings change and cold weather, but another thing fall also brings is a slew of races you need to know about happening right here in Chicago! If you haven’t started training yet, pencil these in for next year. If you have been training, get your laces tied and Mavi Bandz headbands ready!  Let’s get running!
