Chicago Marathon
10 Oct 2010 to
Click To ZoomThe 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon will start and finish in Chicago’s Grant Park beginning at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 10th.
Seldom does the BBC cover an entire marathon outside of London or the major championships. The fact that they decided to do so in Chicago was an indication that they expected something special and they certainly got it in 2002 with Paula Radcliffe’s sensational World best of 2.17.18. 2007 proved a rather hot dayand the pace was slowed, but with 45,000 runners this is truly ‘Americas’ Marathon.
The Bank of America Chicago Marathon is known for its fast, flat course. Elite athletes and amateurs alike annually target the race for its potential to generate personal, national and world records. In addition to its speed, the course offers a scenic tour of Chicago as it weaves through 29 diverse neighborhoods and dozens of local and historic landmarks. You are guaranteed to see all that is great about the city of Chicago.
We have teamed up again with the Chicago Marathon to offer the chance to sample the unique city on a tour that is based in the Essex Inn Hotel, directly opposite the start and finish staging area in Grant Park
The Chicago Marathon has a history of great performances-starting with a world best by Steve Jones and finishing with the world best by another popular British runner, this time the women’s record by Paula Radcliffe.
