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

Still one of my top 5 favorite 5K races. Well organized run on a beautiful course. Digital mile time clocks were spot on. Beer, (limit two beers) watermelon, pretzels at the finish line. If you registered early enough you had your name on your race bib. I like that.

What an amazing event! So well organized from start to finish. But the best part of the race is the crowd. Coming off the queensboro bridge in to Manhattan gave me the chills. I now know what professional athletes feel like when they step on the field and hear the roar
