Well what can I say about Chicago?? UNBELIEVABLE, ELECTRIC, BREATHTAKING, AMAZING, UTTERLY BRILLIANT!! I’m never normally lost for words but blimey, what an amazing marathon, definitely THE best marathon I’ve ever run, not my fastest but definitely the best in terms of uniqueness.
Talk about support every step of the way, it didn’t quieten and it certainly didn’t fail in
terms of helping you get round, the support was second to none, not many marathons have support every mike of it but this certainly did.
The route itself was brilliant, you run though like 13 different neighbourhoods I think it was, each supporting in their own unique way, a very flat fast very scenic route, I know it’s a ballot entry and that’s what makes it so much more special to run it.
I would definitely recommend this marathon to anyone, in fact, every marathoner should run Chicago at least once in their running lives.
T-shirt medal and goody bag were lovely!
I’m over the moon to have run this to the point I wish I could do it all over again.
