The 2025 Chicago Marathon is scheduled for October 12 and each year features more than 50,000 runners including many elite runners ranked on the world stage competing through the neighborhoods of the Windy City.

Competitors and spectators converge upon Chicago, Illinois for a weekend that could include conditions from breezy and cold to hot and humid from not only all over the United States, but the entire world.

More than 120 years old, the Chicago Marathon's current track is much different than it was when it was first run with just twelve athletes.

Now, the current 26-mile course is a loop that is bookended by Grant Park. The path winds through many of the city's neighborhoods and rounds famous landmarks like Wrigley Field, United Center and Rate Field before finishing near Soldier Field.
