About
Every year, the marathon in Chicago weaves through the Windy City, showcasing the accumulation of your dedication, hard work, and consistency in a location that embodies our drive to excel. As the marathon date approaches, our Chicago 100 Days training program offers community events where you can share your efforts alongside other runners as you progress toward the big day. Through this training program, we will tackle three guided long runs throughout the city that will help you build up the endurance required for race day.
The countdown is on. Share your marathon journey with us by joining our guided runs and activities, featuring multiple pacing groups, coach-led discussions, and complimentary fuel.
