This was my second time running the boa Chicago marathon. This is great for first timers participating because the land is flat and the volunteers and crows are amazing. The crowd and volunteer are really what makes the boa a great and energetic experience. Only downside if the medals are not

I was excited to try this race last June as several friends have tried it and liked it. I paid in full for the race but then my aunt died a few days before race day and her funeral was scheduled for the day of the race. i emailed the race

The course was awesome, yet challenging with all the bridges and the small rolling hills on the roads. The crowds were cheering at every section of the course with the bridges being the only exception.
