This race was extremely inspiring to run. I loved every moment of it. Everything was well organized. The packet pickup was a breeze. The race expo was a bit crowded, but the race itself was perfect. The course had great cheering crowds almost the entire route, the marines at every mile

The race takes place in a nice bay - fair visibility and some jellyfish, but obviously can't control the jellyfish. The bike is the flattest ride I've ever encountered. There is no shade, I mean NONE. Some wind on the course, but overall fairly decent. Well marked,

Love the energy from Chicago. Well organized and amazing expo is just icing on the cake. This is my third Chicago marathon and I sincerely loved every store of the way to finish line!
