Amazing race! In 2021 when in person races are coming back this race is a must do!! Chicago is amazing overall. The crowds in Chicago were everywhere cheering you on and motivating you throughout the 26.2 mile course. The race 2021 was a little warmer than normal with the humidity in there too. Overall good course. Water stations about every 2-3 miles. A lot of aid stations towards the end of the course when you need them the most.

Great crowd support throw the neighborhoods!
The weather can a factor, but out of 5 years, it's rained one time. Be prepared for wind
The volunteers come out and help very early in the morning and wait until the last participate leaves the course.
The course changed in 2019, but the scenery inside the neighborhoods has the same fill as in past years.
The Memorial marathon will have its 20th anniversary in 2020 and it'll be the 25th anniversary of the Memorial bombing too.
Overall this race is a must for runnder!

The scenery is Vegas BABY!! Ran down the strip to the airport, turned around and ran back up past all the great hotels and casinos. And did I mention it was at dark! Bring glow sticks! Big crowds at the Vegas sign too so don't be in a hurry to get there.
Their "corral" system needs work because your corral is based on color so be prepared to wait around at the start with some people who sneak around the people checking bibs.
The weather was cool and with the long wait to go throw the start line I would bring a long-sleeved shirt for the wait.
Great medal with motion, but half & full medal look to close to the same.
Overall it's a bucket list race, but if I go back it's only because I'm taking someone who has never been before.

This is the oldest race in Tulsa, Ok. This was my race over a 10K and I was addicted after that.
Race time was 9am which was is a perfect time. Weather was cold at first but running helps.
Great course for people who don't mind hills and great crowd support.
Overall a must for runners who enjoy great crown support and swag.
