Chicago, IL
The course runs through Lincoln Park along the Chicago lakefront, with the skyline visible for much of the way. The route is certified and paved, open enough that you can see well ahead. Aid stations and restrooms are spaced out along the way, and the park surroundings keep the run feeling grounded even as the city looms beside you.
