My husband and I did the Devil in the White City run, and loved running with Marlin. The running tour took us through parts of the city that we would never visit on our own and also highlighted some of the key points from the book. I highly recommend reading the book prior to the run. Marlin will send to... More

My boyfriend and I completed the Tower to Tower running tour with Marlin on May 1st, 2013. He was an incredible tour guide that was kind, energetic and very knowledgable about the city. It was great to have a private tour since we were able to pick our own running pace and discuss more detailed questions and facts about the... More

I recently visited Chicago for the first time with my GF, and was torn trying to decide whether to discover the city via bike tour, river cruise or run. We opted for the third choice and never looked back. After settling on the "Tower to Tower" course, Marlin met us at our hotel and we set off to discover some... More

We participated in the Tragic Events running tour on April 13th. Though we registered late the evening before, Marlin emailed and called us to make sure we knew what to do the morning of the run. Our guide was Aaron, and even though this was one of his first solo tours, he made it fun and entertaining. The tour lasted... More

Would definitely recommend . It's a great way to see the city and I like the fact that some of the fees are used to support community schemes. The tour guide was friendly and personable. We ran the tour to Wrigley Stadium. Only downside - Whilst advertised as a 6 + mile run - my Garmin only recorded 5.3 miles.... More

The Running Tour was an awesome experience. Better than any bus tour. Learned a lot about the history of the city while getting exercise. Martin was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable and interesting. I highly recommend this tour

We come to Chicago every year but this time I wanted to do something 'different' - plus I needed to log a long run for my marathon training. I contacted Marlin... More

I had a great run with Marlin. He met me bright and early at my hotel and took me on a tour of the architecture and parks of Chicago. What an enjoyable way to learn some of the history! We headed south along the lake front and even caught the sunrise and a great view of the city along the... More

Fantastic way to see the city, get an early start and learn neat trivia about Chicago that you usually wouldn't hear!
