Chicago is one of, if not the best marathon. The crowd is packed along the route, cheering on all of the runners the entire time. The course is almost entirely flat. The volunteers and workers are incredibly supportive and helpful and everything runs like clockwork. This was my 4th time running

I have raced this 5k the past 2 years as well as my kids did the 1miler last year. Super well run event, great support from the families on the neighborhood we run through, kiddos loved the ceramic finisher medals...oh yeah...there are PANCAKES at the end!!!

"I ran this event with my fiance. Nothing strenuous, just a fun day out for a leisurely jog. We registered last minute on Sunday so were given shirts/bibs immediately. I was told the line to retrieve gear for those who pre-registered was an hour long unfortunately due
