On October 9, nearly 45,000 participants ran in the 34th
annual Chicago Marathon. Along with the races in New York, Boston, Berlin, and London, Chicago's is considered one of the "World Marathon Majors". Unlike
the Boston Marathon (in which only about two miles actually take place WITHIN
Boston’s city limits), the entire Chicago Marathon is a journey through some of the city’s most notable neighborhoods.
This year, one of those 45,000 was Laura, your fair blogger
for this site. Meanwhile, Michael
actively participated…as moral support from the sidelines. While Laura was focused on completing
her first marathon, Michael ran around several of the neighborhoods to catch
the action.
Below is a list of each mile and which neighborhood the
runners traversed. We’ve also
attached an image of the scenes where Michael caught the action.
