About
South Loop Runners is a neighbourhood community club that runs along the lakefront south of downtown. The two fixed weekly meet-ups both start at the Agora statues at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Roosevelt Road in Grant Park: an all-paces run on Thursday evening and the Saturday morning Anchor Run, the club's signature long run, where you pick a pace group when you sign up.
On Sundays there is also a short, easy social run of about 30 minutes that ends with coffee at a South Loop cafe; its start time is posted on the club calendar. The club also organises group outings to local races and keeps in touch between runs on Discord and Strava.
