Use movement & stories to explore where you live.

Founded in 2021, Read & Run Tours empowers you to running events inspired by books, written by local authors, while supporting literacy, independent bookstores, and local libraries.

Coming Soon:

Read & Run Tour's first city chapter is in Chicago. Starting in 2024, you’ll be able to apply to start your own chapter or host a pop-up running event inspired by books set where you live. Until then, get inspired by Read & Run Chicago.

If you’re interested in learning more or starting your own chapter, contact Allison Yates at allison@readruntours.com.
