This was my first major marathon and SO MUCH FUN!!
I ran this as an “experience” race — I was trained well but didn’t go into it chasing a time, and I highly recommend doing this for Chicago. There is so much going on, the excitement etc is unmatched. ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE!
The only downside is there was a severe lack of bathrooms on the course — there are 55k+ runners…. definitely could have used more portapotties.

Prepare for steep downhills — they will sneak up on you and the second half of the race is flat which feels uphill.
The weather can be really warm for running.
The course is really NOT supported well , lack of aide stations overall. Prepare to bring all of your own stuff.
I had to stop at mile 16 and help a fellow runner and call 911. This resulted in a 30 minute stop and did not boad well to start running again– so my race went to hell.

Loved this race, I have run it twice.
First time was in 2018 as my first marathon … time was 4:26
Second time in 2019 with a big PR of 3:48

Flat course , minimal climbing , great support and generally good running weather (40s is common).
