Chicago Marathon.

[4goods]

Over the last couple of years, I've run the Boston Half (1/2) Marathon. The format is an out and back run. I'm no record breaker :D and it's sorta depressing to be approaching the 4 mile mark and having these elite runners zipping past you heading back to the finish line. But it certainly is a cool feeling crossing that finish line!:cool:

At any rate, I am planning on running my first marathon out in Chicago in October this Columbus Day weekend.

I am curious if anyone on here has run the Chicago Marathon? If so, how did you find the course? Someone told me it was a relatively flat course and for a first marathon a good place to start.

If anyone has any insight on running this marathon, training for it, the course itself, etc... it would be greatly appreciated!


Thnx.
