    It’s an all-new exhibit that celebrates Chicago’s car culture.

    This year’s Chicago Auto Show is all about what’s next, with more electric vehicles, more hands-on experiences, and more tech than ever before.

    The show features the latest vehicles, outdoor rides and drives, indoor test tracks, including a fan favorite, Camp Jeep.

    On Sunday morning, the Chicago Area Runners Association will participate in an indoor run called “Miles Per Hour.”

    The ran began at 8 a.m., participants were challenged to cover as much distance as possible. The run was entirely indoors and through the halls of the Chicago Auto Show.

    The course is a 2.4-mile loop that winds through the show floor.
