Going Away Run + Picnic for Chelsey Grassfield

Our beloved guide Chelsey Grassfield is leaving Chicago and heading to the West Coast! Help us give gratitude to her contributions to Read & Run Chicago and the entire community of runners, learners, readers, and environmental advocates. Whether you are an intimate friend of Chelsey or haven't yet met her, all are welcome to join us!

MEET: Meet at 6pm on Thursday, June 1 just north of Montrose here: https://goo.gl/maps/SN7BEmruXxtsWYtt9?coh=178572&entry=tt

RUN: Chelsey will guide runners on an easy-paced, 3-mile route along the lakefront.

BRING: Please bring your own drink(s) of your choice. If you feel inspired, bring a food item to share with other runners. We will be providing cake! You'll have a chance to drop personal items and food at the meeting location prior to the run. We will provide plates, napkins, and cutlery.

POST-RUN: We'll picnic and give gratitude to Chelsey!

About Chelsey Grassfield: Chelsey (she/her/hers) can’t decide if she loves reading or running more. Thanks to Read & Run, she doesn’t have to. For her tours, Chelsey enjoys weaving in her other roles such as Policy Manager at Friends of the Chicago River and member of the Illinois Environmental Council’s Young Professionals Board, as well as Book Club Program Manager for Italic Type. She’s not super social media savvy, but she’s trying, so check her out on Twitter @Chelsey_Reads and Instagram @ChelseyGrassfield.
