This was a well-organized race with fantastic on-course support. It was really warm (72 degrees and sunny!) and I appreciated the abundant water stations, which usually isn't something I notice.

I was so excited to be part of this amazing event! It was action packed for all 26.2 miles! The course was great! The city of Chicago was so pretty! I loved seeing the tall skyscrapers on every corner & was also charmed by the quaintness of every neighborhood we ran
