Well organized. Texas sized. Didn't expect the wind that blows gently,but continuously for days. Neither flat nor hilly, just a nice change up throughout the course. Lots of variation and felt like a faster run for me. Lots of energy at race start from crowd and announcers. Start of race

This is an excellent rode for any rider level with 5 course options. Outstanding rest stops keep you fueled and motivated! They really make it fun and even challenging for those seeking it.

This was my 2nd Chicago marathon, my 7th marathon including The NYC marathon, chicago, by far is the most entertaining, well organized, easy to run marathon. This is the 1 marathon I hope to run until I'm 90 or beyond. The city, spectators and runners all come together for one goal
