If you're looking for a great excuse to justify your next big-city
getaway, a fitness trip could be just what you need. I recently
spent a long weekend in Chicago during which my roommates and I ran
a Rock-and-Roll half-marathon. Initially, we were torn between the
Seattle race and its Chicago counterpart. We had never been to
Chicago so we thought it would be a great place to explore.

Not all college towns are created equal, but each one has a
distinct altar. To some, that altar is a football field, to others,
a library for budding geniuses. And then there are altars that are

We’ve picked college towns that exult in what
makes them unique in their focus and atmosphere
– and no, South Bend, Indiana did not make the
list.
