Lake Front Group Walk
Details
MAKE SURE TO REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND
Some days, you just need to move. Together.
We're walking the full length of Chicago's lakefront, start to finish, as a crew. South Shore Cultural Center to Osterman Beach, sixteen miles up the lake with your people. The skyline, the beaches, the neighborhoods changing around you, and good company the whole way.
No pressure on pace, no pressure on distance. Jump in at the start or catch us at Navy Pier or North Avenue Beach. Stay for a stretch or go the whole way. The only rule is you show up.
Chicago is best on foot. Let's remind ourselves why.
Doors open at 7:30 AM at South Shore Cultural Center. See you out there.
