Description

The Des Plaines River Trail is just over 56 miles of rail-trail going through Lake and Cook Counties running alongside the Des Plaines River. This is one of the longer trails within the Greater Chicago Area with the south end in the near west suburbs and the north end being just shy of the Wisconsin border.

Episode 80: Pandemic: Personal reports from two race directors

Category
Highlight

Everyone is disappointed that races were cancelled or postponed.  What about the race directors themselves - this is how they make a living - what is their perspective?

James Varner, Rainshadow Running:

"We're known for our post-race parties as much as the running; it's one big happy family. That's all a big no-no right now with social distancing."

Justin Ricks, Mad Moose Events:

"When you lose something, you realize what you're missing. When people come back, there will be a lot of positive energy."
