This was my second time running the boa Chicago marathon. This is great for first timers participating because the land is flat and the volunteers and crows are amazing. The crowd and volunteer are really what makes the boa a great and energetic experience. Only downside if the medals are not

This was great for my first race! Also wish there were more bathrooms before the race. It's a nice and flat course and spectators the whole way. The medal and shirt could be improved but overall super happy with the race! The volunteers were so nice and encouraging.

It was cold, windy, and threatening rain but the event was a blast to be part of. I'm glad I ran.
