News from the Chicago Marathon front.

 

Action Medical Research are pleased to announce another successful Chicago run this year! 

 

With over 45,000 runners and over a million spectators  we were all blessed with great sunshine and thankfully  NO WIND!   3 'Action' runners took to the streets of Chicago running the 26.2 mile circuit.  The route itself came together in a matter of hours and the atmosphere was truly electric from start to finish.  With wide open roads we found ourselves getting into our pace quickly and with the many water and snack stops en route, our energy levels stayed high!

 

This is one marathon to get involved with.  The slick operation and the dedication from all the staff and volunteers on the day made it a wonderful experience for us all. 

 

I myself finished the run in 4 hours and 27 minutes.
