Bank of America Chicago Marathon
Known for its fast and flat course, the Chicago Marathon attracts some of the World’s best runners, especially as it is one of the World Marathon Majors. In addition to its speed, the course offers a tour of Chicago as it weaves through 29 diverse neighbourhoods and dozens of local and historic landmarks. You are guaranteed to see all that is great about the city of Chicago, while you run.
Being one of the largest cities in the US and considered the birthplace of modern architecture, Chicago is well know for its bold structures and towering skyscraper horizon. Buildings like the iconic John Hancock Center, the Willis Tower (originally the Sears Tower) and the neo-Gothic Tribune have made it an exciting and popular destination.
Along with its inclusive spirit, award winning food scene, including the Chicago-style deep pan pizza and vibrant jazz culture, Chicago has earned its title as the Best Big City in the United States.
