Hello Athletes! We’re excited to host you tomorrow for the pinnacle long run of your Chicago Marathon training journey. Please review the key details below:
Check-in: 6:15 AM
Coach conversation + run kickoff: 7:00 AM
Pace Groups
You’ll receive a colored wristband at check-in based on your pace:
8:30 and under
8:30–9:45

These will form three large groups that will head out one at a time following the coach pep talk. This is a fun, welcoming social environment. We encourage you to talk to each other and work into groups as we go. (There are not be lead pacers.)
Just like on race day, please be patient with the larger groups and additional logistics of this run. Remember, this is a free service to the running community. We appreciate the nerves & challenges of the day.

Maurten gels and water will be available at approximately miles 5, 10, and 15.
