If you are tired of the hype with high prices so you get bands and beer and just want to run a challenging half marathon put on by runners, for runners, this is the race to sign up for. It is a reasonable $35 with good aid stations and post race

This year was my first time running the Chicago marathon. It is a world class race. Amazing scenery and outstanding crowd support! I could not believe that there were supporters at every mile of the marathon! Need more toilets before the race and on the course. Also, getting out after

"The course is great, though the last 2 miles have a lot of concrete which is hard to run on especially after running for 11 miles before. A couple more aid stations would be better, definitely were not enough especially second half which is hotter and some uphill.
No medals
