The marathon starts in downtown Chicago in Grant Park. The contact person for the weekend would be Event Coordinator. This large event is held over Labor Day weekend every 2 - 4 years. These weekends include runs and walks every day and various social events. The events are held all over Chicagoland.
Hosted housing is available if early notice is given.
The number of out of town guests averages 60 - 80 persons. Again, as for all of our events, women's participation is encouraged. This is held the second Saturday night in December. Participation averages 100 persons each year and the event includes a gift exchange, good food and good friends. There is usually a used running shoe or T-Shirt donation where members bring their clothes or shoes to be donated to local shelters.
