Does anyone know of a club or facility that has negative incline treadmills? I live in downtown Chicago and want to do some downhill training this winter to prep for Boston. Hard to find any decent hills in the city.

Just get a positive incline treadmill and turn around and run
This is why they invented concrete blocks. Put it under the back feet. At least that is why I did with my treadmill when I trained for the Boston Marathon.
The gym in the Prudential building. But unless you happen to work there, no dice...
Otherwise parking garages are your friend.

Concrete blocks? Wow, that's a bit overkill. I just cut a rubber gym mat & place it under the rear & get about a 3% decline, much more than that & any treadmill service tech will tell you you're gonna mess it up.
