But what if at Km 30.5 there just happened to be a huge group of people dressed as Pitbull, playing Pitbull music, handing out Fireball shots, giving inspirational advice (i.e. 'this for everyone going through a tough time, believe me Ive been there done that. but every day above ground is a great day remember that') with adoptable pit bulls from Chicago shelters?

as a millennial, a 6 time chicago finisher, and a dog enthusiast I can't decide if this is a delusional fever dream coming out of the post marathon blues or if it might be just what I need to kick off the last 10K

Y’all the post race bloat, blues, & starvation is hitting me so hard today. Please tell me I’m not alone - running NYC in a few weeks too so feel like I’ll be made of bread by then!!!

I’ve never seen them before, but these are delicious! I’m not a pretzel person, and wasn’t even going to grab a bag. I took one and finally got around to eating them today and they are sooo good! They’re on my grocery list now.

I completed the Chicago Distance Series this year and get an automatic entry into the 2027 marathon. If I register for it am I able to defer a year and run in 2028 instead? I know I'd have to pay the registration fee twice, but I'm not sure I want to run the marathon next year, but would love to run it for the 50th anniversary. TIA.

Hoping to score one after completing my first major......does anyone know if adidas will re-release? Thanks!

Did anyone get an extra large or xl t shirt? Would be willing to purchase.

Registered the other day for 2027 via the legacy program ( after counting up my last finishes). Anyone hear back?

Anyone else see the Nike running gear for NYC marathon? Why does NYC always get the better designs? Whatdahelly 🤬

Everything was sold out when I went, but if anyone is interested in reselling their bandit chicago hoodie in size small pls dm!

Hello, has anyone that has completed the Distance Series this year received their guaranteed entry link for 2027? I’ve yet to receive mine, checking spam, emailed the office@chicagomarathon email address and haven’t heard back yet. Are they just running behind and replying to emails?

I just did the chicago marathon and was wondering based on previous runs what you thought my time would be. m27 These runs were done at 4500 to 5000 feet.
