What time does the Chicago marathon end? Street closures are in place ahead of the Bank of America 2022 race, which will kick off in Grant Park.
"We make sure we load up on plenty of pasta, plenty of bread. We know what we're serving today," said Jared Gelvand, Italian Village Restaurants' wine director."Pasta, pretty much," said Jacob Wormald, a runner from New Hampshire."I ran it last year for the first time just to see it and now this year, I'm actually trying to do a really good time," said Daniel Tenayuca, a runner from Algonquin, Illinois."This will be my first full marathon.
"I've seen the same people from Germany, from Japan come in and we'll recognize them because it's been a year after your thing. It's really special," Gelvand added. Last year, the race was scaled down because of the pandemic, but this year, it's back in full force with 40,000 runners. "Last year was a challenge, having to pause the event was heartbreaking. But there's an energy, an excitement," said Carey Pinkowski, the Bank of America Chicago Marathon executive director.
"I was supposed to run it in 2020 and set a new personal record for me, and then it all got canceled. I got injured and had to wait a little while. So we're back in Chicago this year. It's my first Chicago marathon," said Angela Giese, a runner from Minnesota."I think getting back and actually being able to run with a lot of people is going to be a really special thing.
