Series of attacks on females puts runners on alert
Over the last week a number of female runners have been attacked while jogging in city areas ranging from South Shore to River North to Albany Park. In response, the Chicago Area Runners Association recommends running in groups, avoiding wearing headphones, staying in well-lit areas, and wearing reflective gear. The group is also planning a safety seminar for runners with a Chicago Police Department officer at its winter kickoff event (date and location as yet to be determined). [DNAinfo Chicago]
