This was my 2nd Chicago marathon, my 7th marathon including The NYC marathon, chicago, by far is the most entertaining, well organized, easy to run marathon. This is the 1 marathon I hope to run until I'm 90 or beyond. The city, spectators and runners all come together for one goal

A nice course, though you start and end on an uphill, so be prepared for that. They do post the times on the gym wall, but it's had to see that small type, but I guess with an expected turnout of 2500 runners this year they had to fit everyone.

This is a great race with a lot of history. I have run it a dozen times and keep coming back. Great swag and a nice after party. Registration is prompt and well organized. There is a nice after party at the Puck ( a local watering hole)
