    Just above North Avenue in Chicago is a series of parks, from Lincoln Park, to Belmont Harbor and up to Montrose Beach. They are all connected by a series of running paths that allow for a training run of any distance. The CARA Lakefront 10-miler creates an incredibly windy spaghetti trail through many of these paths, showing why it’s such a runner’s paradise. Not only is it very flat and only rarely requires runners to watch out for cars, but it’s incredibly green and right by Lake Michigan. This race is typically run by just over 1,000 locals and the field at the front can be very competitive. However, it’s also a favorite of casual runners and walkers alike, as it takes place on a public path that is never closed. The weather can be unpredictable, but the beautiful course is guaranteed. At around $40 for early bird specials, it’s also one of the cheapest long-distance races in the city.
