One of the best marathons in the world

I've run this marathon twice (2021 and 2024) and as a virtual race in 2020. After Boston, it's probably my favorite marathon. Sadly I lost my bib early on race morning (2021) so I had to get a replacement bib. It was quite an ordeal, but staff issued me a new bib. The crowd support is amazing all along the route.<Š

Great organization and experience

Great weather and course. However, a little disappointed we didn't run by Wrigley Field nor Guaranteed Rate Field being a baseball guy.

City of the Big Shoulders and a Big Heart

A Chicagoan, I ran this race for the 16th time. It is huge. The only organizational flaw was that there was no signage to guide runners from the parking lot to the expo for packet pickup. Volunteers and staff did a great job getting 40K+ runners to where they should be on race day. Aid stations were plentiful (22 of them). Fans lined the entire course (the Mexican neighborhood of Pilsen had the most color, music, and enthusiasm). There were plenty of distance markers and clocks on the very flat course. Start and finish areas were well organized with toilets and refreshments. Bravo, Chicago, my kind of town.
