Route: Chicago Times-Herald Auto Race Route (IL)

This route follows the course of the 1895 Chicago Times-Herald Race, which was the first automobile race held in the United States (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Times-Herald_race). The winner of that race finished in 7 hours and 53 minutes of running time, and 10 hours and 23 minutes of elapsed time, which makes an interesting and realistic comparison point for present day runners on this route.
