← Chicago Marathon
Ok, so the crowd got 4 starts but it wasn’t their fault, it was throwing it done for most of the day. But, this marathon is quite possibly on a level with London. The. Expo number pick up was a breeze, if you got there early, the race itself was near perfect. Going through 29 boroughs in 26.2 miles really gave you a fantastic taste of the city and suburbs. Yes it rained, but it was very welcome. There are drink stations every 1.2-1.5 miles, almost too many. Your GPS will record crazy splits and swimming in the river due to the height of buildings and running under the EL. I thoroughly recommend this, and the city as a whole.
