WHEN can you registar for 2011 marathon in Chicago???
I love Chicago, the Blackhawks, the Bears, the White Sox but most of all the Chicago marathon. I am planning to bring a bus load of runners from Canada to run in 2011. How many Canadians are allowed to enter. Are there any other runs , a 5k for eg , during the marathon weekend.
Chicago Marathon registrations open around first week of February, and started on Feb 1 2010 for this years run, so expect similar timelines for 2011 as well.
I am also interested in knowing when I can register for the 2011 Chicago Bank Of America Marathon. I was born in Chicago and lived in Aurora, IL & Valparaiso,IN before my family moved to Houston in 1968. I still have a lot of family and friends in the Chicago area. I am running again after many starts and stops due to a string of injuries over the past few years. My last marathon (3rd) was 6 years ago but I would like to run at least one more. I will turn 60 on October 9, 2011 and thought it would be a great birthday present to myself to be able to do this. My son would also like to run this marathon. He is 25 and finished his first marathon (Houston) last January in 2:43. He is currently trainng for the next Houston marathon with a target of sub 2:35. Please let us know when registration opens and where to access the registration information.
i WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN CAN I REGISTER FOR THE CHICAGO MARATHON 2011.
