Chicago is the hub of the American Midwest, located at the heart of the North American continent. The Chicago Marathon is one of the world’s marathon majors. This city has over a century of marathon history. Here, you’ll find breathtaking skyscrapers, charming artsy streets, and the iconic L train running through the city —a unique flavor all its own. If a city’s history could be measured in more than just years, perhaps it would be in every street and every inch of land your running shoes have touched.
