Chicago Marathon

One of the greatest marathon events in the World and part of the world marathon majors along with New York, London, Boston & Berlin. The Bank of America Chicago Marathon is one of the best in the world and the city itself is full of life - one of America's greatest.  Up to 45,000 runners take part in the marathon and over one and a half million spectators line the course, cheering on every runner. To add to the atmosphere, there are live bands and music along the route. The flat, loop course is one of the fastest in the world and there are no qualifying restrictions. The average temperature at the Start is 40oF (7oC), rising to 55oF (13oC) at the Finish.
The start/ finish is in Grant Park and the marathon passes through 29 of Chicago's historic and ethnic neighbourhoods.  Digital time clocks are positioned along the course at every mile, every 5K, at the half marathon point and at the finish line and highly visible mile markers are also placed along the course.
