Consistently a flat and fast course as each year it’s modified to give participants the best experience possible. 2017 was the first year I had to miss (due to a conflict in schedule), but you can’t go wrong with this race. Expo small-just packet pick up-and parking at race can be tricky-especially if you want to leave soon after you complete your run but others are still on the course. Great lead in to the fall runathon which features the Water Tap, Great Pumpkin 10k, and then the Urban Bourbon Half.

Ran this as part of Team Fox to fundraiser for the Michael J. Fox Foundation and Parkinson’s research. Had unseasonably warm temps in 2015-70s during race on a course with little shade. In addition I had a undiagnosed viral infection and was spiking a fever during the race.

But it’s Chicago and everything about this race is spot on from communication, the expo, the course, the volunteers...it is a must do race on a course that has few surprises.

And kudos during this year for the race providing runners with extra aide stations and ice at finish-the heat took a lot of people out and the marathon did a great job taking care of athletes.
