My first marathon ever and I would do it again and again! So well organized! Loved the swag in our entry bag and the participant shirt is amazing! Great cheering, along the route, well planned water stations, and best of all, the medal was wicked!
The perfect race! Even before I started, I knew this was going to be the perfect race. Flat and fast, big supportive crowds, cool and dry weather and 47,000 of my best friends. A big BQ was just icing on the cake. Thank you Chicago!

Loved this race. Very well organized, easy to get to the start line and the expo was awesome. A low stress option for a world major marathon. The course was easy, flat, and fast.
Nice, flat race with great volunteer support and big crowds. All of the pre-race info is very clear. Charity reg fundraising amounts are do-able. 4 stars because it was *too* big for my anxiety; if you find crowds overwhelming, it may not be for you.
First marathon. The event was well run and spaced out. The crowd made the distance easier. You are able to run through all the different neighborhoods.
