Book Club Runs

Consider our Book Club Runs the closest thing you’ll find here to a traditional book club.

Read the book prior to attending this event – because we’ve got spoilers – and we’ll ask audience questions! Over three to five miles and three to five stops at locations from the book inspiring the route, you’ll learn more about the story and its connections to Chicago. Our guides may bring the book to life through a variety of ways, including foods characters ate, locations characters spent time at, archives and real-life parallel, and other items to enhance our understanding of the story.

  • Readers & runners who love to discuss a book – what you liked, what you didn’t like, how it made you feel. Sometimes questions along the route get personal, but you never have to answer if you don’t want to!

  • Readers & runners looking to talk to new people – this is our most interactive programming!

  • Fiction fans (most book club runs are inspired by fiction).
