Here’s a look at the full course route – NBC Chicago

The 46th annual Bank of America Chicago Marathon kicks off this weekend, with tens of thousands of runners completing a 26.2-mile course that winds through many of Chicago’s most recognizable neighborhoods.

The 2024 edition of the race is expected to attract more than 50,000 participants, with approximately 35% of participants coming from international locations.

But where will runners travel?

The race starts and ends in Grant Park, but extends beyond downtown, passing through 29 neighborhoods and some of Chicago’s most iconic streets.

The 26.2-mile ride takes runners over six of the Chicago River bridges, stretching north to Sheridan Road and to 35th Street in the south.

There are also supporters at various waiting points throughout the marathon course.
