More About Race to Taste:
Each year in the opening weekend of the gigantic food festival Taste of Chicago, the city holds a 5k race that starts from historic landmark Buckingham Fountain. For those less physically fit, you can take part in the 2 mile walk instead. For the young ones there's a "Kids' Dash" race -- distance of the race varies by age, from a 10 foot crawl for the babies to a 1/2 mile run for the 12-year-olds.
