Chicago Highlights Running Tour

Is this a race?
No, Fit Tours are non-competitive sight-running tours. 

Can walkers sign-up?
Except for the Sunrise Yoga Tour, each of our tours involve a good deal of running, so you’ll need to be able to keep up with the group to hear the guide. Our pace is typically 9-10 min/mi. 

How long are the tours?
Each of our tours last approximately 1 hour. Sometimes we finish 5 or 10 minutes earlier or later, depending on the overall pace of the group.

Can i run with a jogging stroller?
Although we’ve never had one, Jogging strollers are welcome. There are two large staircases along the course, but we’re happy to help carry strollers.

How soon do i need to sign-up?
The earlier, the better. We will keep the sign up open until 10 hours before the start of the tour. Within 24 hours you have to call to book.

What's the longest distance we run without stopping?
There are a couple of legs of the 5K Fun Run that are just under .5 mi.

Do you offer bag storage?
We don’t have bag storage, so come dressed to run! However, our guides wear backpacks and have room to carry small items like keys and phones — just ask during check-in.

How do i know if i signed-up correctly?
You will receive an e-mail with a receipt from Fit Tours immediately following your registration with details on our meeting spot.

I didn't get a confirmation!
There is a confirmation e-mail sent immediately following your registration. If you haven’t received a confirmation e-mail then something is wrong and you should call us to confirm asap! We also send you a reminder e-mail 24 hours prior to your tour.

What happens if it rains?
Each of our runs is held rain or shine! If conditions are not to your liking, you can re-schedule to any of our other runs that have space available. In the event of dangerous weather (thunderstorms w lightning, extreme heat or cold, etc.) we will reschedule the tour.
