The team will lead runners on a 2.5 mile run throughout the city and return to Nike Chicago or a 3.5 mile point-to-point ending at Northerly Island where there will be shuttles back to Nike Chicago or to McCormick Place for the Expo.  While at Northerly Island runners also have the opportunity cheer on the next generation of young athletes as they log 1.5 miles around the island. Elite marathoners Abdi Abdirahman, Alexi Pappas, Dathan Ritzenhein and Matt Tegenkamp will join runners at Nike Chicago.
