We are visiting Chicago this weekend and staying at the Westin North River.  Is there a running path along the lake that I can run down?  I need to do about 12-14 miles.  Any info would be great!  Thanks.

Yep. There is a lakeshore that would be perfect for that. I believe it is 20 something miles in length.

Yeah from Ohio Street beach to the loop at Hollywood and back is ABOUT 14 miles exactly. So basically take Ohio Street over to the lake front trail and run north until you get to a little loop. It's a circle for bikes and runner to turn around, very convenient. Go there and back and you've got about 14 in.
