A heart route signed Chicago.

A city can offer heart-shaped running routes to its visitors by partnering with CityHeart: we design a gold-tier heart route through Chicago on real, runnable streets, hand over the GPX file and HD visuals with full usage rights, and publish a permanent Chicago page that ranks for running-tourism searches. Chicago distributes it with prepaid codes, a QR code on signage, or an embedded white-label generator on its own website, typically timed with Bank of America Chicago Marathon in October.

Chicago’s grid and lakefront produce the cleanest heart geometry in North America, so the visual is immediately campaign-ready.

We design it around the Lakefront Trail, the Loop, the 606, and time the launch with Bank of America Chicago Marathon in October.

Chicago partnership questions

How long does it take to get a heart route for Chicago?

We return gold-tier route concepts for Chicago within 48 hours of a brief, drawn around the Lakefront Trail and the Loop. A full activation, with HD visuals, GPX files and the city page live, takes about two weeks, so a launch aligned with Bank of America Chicago Marathon in October should be briefed a month ahead.

Who owns the routes and visuals Chicago receives?

Chicago gets full, perpetual usage rights on the GPX files, the route visuals and the posters produced under the partnership, for print, social and on-site signage. CityHeart keeps ownership of the routing algorithm itself.

Are the routes generated by AI?

No. Routes come from our own routing algorithm, not a generative AI model. Every kilometre follows a real, runnable street or path in Chicago, and each candidate is scored on geometry and street quality before it is allowed to carry a city name.

What data is collected on Chicago runners?

Nothing is required from a runner to follow a route: a prepaid code unlocks a GPX download without an account. Email addresses are only collected when a runner chooses to receive their file by email, under GDPR, and are never resold.
