To help ease automobile access marathon morning during street closures the little strip of inner Lake Shore Dr. in front of 3180 that is normally one-way southbound will become a two-way street under Chicago Police supervision.

This will allow drivers east of Sheridan to get on outer Lake Shore Drive at Belmont all morning and will allow Presence Saint Joseph Hospital staff easy egress.

Red line shows where street will be two-way marathon morning.

2019 Bank of America Chicago Marathon

On Sunday, October 13th, the 42nd annual Bank of America Chicago Marathon will welcome 45,000 participants to the City of Chicago. Each year, we proudly invite participants, volunteers and spectators to celebrate the Chicago Marathon which starts and finishes in historic Grant Park and travels through the downtown streets of Chicago.

Running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon is the pinnacle of achievement for elite athletes and everyday runners alike. On race day, runners from all 50 states and more than 100 countries will set out to accomplish a personal dream by reaching the finish line in Grant Park.

Similar procedure as previous years, except this year the course will extend a couple blocks further north beyond Addison up to Sheridan Rd. then turn back south on Broadway as usual.
