As you all know, Chicago is my first choice for a fall marathon. I submitted my application and the wait begins!
PS – the application process is so easy, plus there was no processing/application fee involved.
Did you enter the Chicago Marathon lottery? Running with a charity? Time qualifier?
Do you follow anyone that is running or has run Chicago?
