Read & Run Chicago is a community organization managed under Read & Run Tours. Founded in 2021, the mission is simple: to use movement and stories to explore Chicago. Programming includes free community meetups like book swaps and reading nights, plus the signature Read & Run Tours format we’re most known for: book-themed guided runs where stories take place, all inspired by books set in Chicago, mostly written by local authors. Read & Run Chicago's ultimate goal is to help Chicagoans better connect with themselves, each other, and the physical spaces they call home.
Along the way, Read & Run Chicago champions literacy initiatives, local nonprofits, public libraries, independent bookstores, and the writers who bring Chicago's communities to life. They've hosted over 120 events featuring 30+ authors and local experts and have been highlighted by CNN, Runner's World, Midwest Living, NBC's Chicago Today, FOX32 Good Day Chicago, WGN Radio, Block Club Chicago, and more.
