Was about the easiest packet pickup ever! It wasn't much to rave about but they made it very convenient, so I won't complain. And running the magnificent mile was a nice preview for the Chicago marathon, as you go across the bridge, just be careful. There's no red carpet that day!!! But it is a very beautiful view, easy parking, clearly marked gear check, not too crowded corrals. And can be used towards the run this town medal!
