Betsy Tomszak’s favorite place to read outdoors in Chicago is at Montrose Harbor.

Join Read & Run Chicago and Books with Betsy for a delightful outdoor reading gathering at the concrete steps at Montrose Harbor, Betsy’s favorite place to read outside in Chicago.

All you need to do is bring a book and something comfy to sit on. You can read silently, you can chat, you can enjoy the city view, you can maybe (?) run—whatever you want. This is just a chance to gather outside (while we still can!) around something we love: BOOKS!

Here's the tentative schedule:

📍6:30pm-Arrive and make your name tag
📚 Find your favorite spot to read
👟 7:00pm-Optional pick-your-distance run with Cynthia

Read & Run Chicago may go on programming break in August, but that doesn't mean we can't keep exploring Chicago using movement and stories!

Check the chat in the RSVP the day of for exact details on meetup location and message with any questions.
