Allison reading Shirlene Obuobi’s On Rotation at Wild Mile, one of her favorite outdoor reading spots in the city!

Join Read & Run Chicago and Urban Rivers for a delightful outdoor reading gathering on Wild Mile, the world's first ever floating eco-park!

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—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

📚 6:30pm-8:30pm - Find your favorite spot to read

👟 7:00pm - Optional pick-your-distance run with Allison, founder of Read & Run Chicago

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 the day of for any changes and message with any questions.
