Course Map: Chicago Polar Dash Half Marathon

Runners start the out-and-back course for the Chicago Polar Dash in Grant Park, near both the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum. From there, the race first heads south along the trails that run along the shoreline of Lake Michigan, taking runners nearly all the way to the Museum of Science and Industry and back. After that, there’s a final loop along the stretch of the Lakefront Trail near the Chicago Yacht Club, before you’ll head back south to the finish line near the aquarium.
