Chicago is beautiful! A must see city! My second marathon and first at Chicago. Wonderful, inviting people. Cultural and historical neighborhoods. A must do again in the future! Running 1.4.U. Running for those who can't.

I love Ragnars, and I love hills, but we were super nervous when we checked into our hotel and someone asked what kind of team we were - then asked who was running the mountain. Whaaaat?!? No worries, anyone who is dedicated enough to sign up for a 12 person relay

This race was very HOT. Granted you can't control the weather, but the flat roads and lack of shade made things interesting out there. The roads overall were nice and well maintained. Organization was adequate. Water was really warm, wetsuits almost weren't allowed. Overall decent race,
