Sports & Fitness

The Chicago Half Marathon is one of the most premier races from around the globe. The half and 5-kilometer events take place in September, just as the leaves are beginning to turn and the city comes alive with sweater weather and fall festivities. More than 14,000 runners register for the half marathon alone, which makes for a considerable crowd of racers, and spectators around the city. Named as one of the top ten with reason, you can’t beat the atmosphere or the excitement of the town as runners make their way from start to finish. Running up the most crowded roadway in the nation, Lake Shore Drive is shut down for 13.1 miles of the course, which offers participants a fantastic view of the skyline and all the glory of the most miraculous skyscrapers that Chicago is known for. There is nothing like the Midwestern friendliness or the numerous fans that are quick to cheer on racers and give them a helping hand to make it across the finish line.
