Karen Brady's thoughts:

So nice, I've ran it twice. Love this race. Chicago loves their marathon and each neighborhood you run through really lifts you up and embraces the spirit of the marathon. LOVE that this is a fast and flat course, save for the hill at Mile 26. That hill is EVIL. The expo is huge. I had trouble getting to my corral on race morning because the Gate I was sent to was bottlenecked and backed up due to there only being a few security guards there to check bags. UGH. I almost didn't make it to my corral before it closed. It's a fun and great race. If you didn't qualify on time, enter the lottery for sure . And it's a Abbott World Major...so earn that star!
