To be my first marathon it was great. From the expo to the race. Didn't expect it to be this good been to other expos this one was great. I would do this race again. I'm from Chicago. I always volunteer but

This race was one of the most amazing experiences of my lifetime. I have never seen so much crowd support in a city, and felt so much love as I ran alongside thousands of other runners. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

I partipated as a runner and left as a friend. No matter the level or intensity of your approach to the race, you will find encouragement and motivation. A well coordinated race and great people.
