Top Reasons to Run the Chicago Marathon:
1. You get to run with 45,000 of your closest friends.
2. The 10k water/food stop has slices of Chicago Style Pizza
3. The 20k water/food stop has Chicago Hot Dogs-fully loaded
4. At 30k you get Chicago brewed beer in a collectible Bears Mug.
5. The finish line post-race food includes a Chicago style grilled steak.
6. When you come home you can brag to co-workers and friends about competing with Joan Benoit Samuelson, Steve Jones, Melissa White, Ethiopians who run 2:06 for a marathon, and other world class runners.
7. It's going to be 55 degrees and partly cloudy at the start, perfect weather to run 26 miles!
8. You'll finish the race, get recovered in the hotel hot tub, take a nap and be ready to watch the Yankees beat Minnesota at 8pm eastern time.
Love it!
