Description:
The Third Annual Magellan Chicago Spring Half Marathon and 10K races help kick off Chicago’s race season. Starting just steps away from Chicago’s Lake Michigan waterfront alongside the Chicago River, the race course takes runners south along the scenic lakefront path with Chicago Street Musicians entertaining racers along the course. The one loop half marathon and 10K courses continue through the city’s historic museum campus, alongside Soldier Field, finishing up at The Park at Lakeshore East, where runners celebrate their achievements at a post-race picnic with live music. The Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute is the official charity.
The race start time for the Half Marathon is 7am and the 10K starts at 7:30am (or 30 minutes after the half-marathoners clear). More than 4,500 runners are expected to participate.
