Chicago Marathon Registration Closed

Bad news if you were still thinking about registering for the Chicago Marathon in October...  Registration closed today when the 45,000 capacity was met in a record 31 days.  Fortunately, if you're dying to run, there are still some limited entries through affiliated charities.

See the Chicago Marathon Registration Page for details.


Official E-mail from the Chicago Marathon:

Registration Has Closed for the 2011 Bank of America Chicago Marathon

Registration for the 2011 Bank of America Chicago Marathon officially closed today. The 45,000-participant capacity was met in a record 31 days. A limited number of entries remain available through affiliated charities and tour groups for the October 9 race.

More than 90 of the race's affiliated charities have entries remaining for participants still looking for a way into this year's field. By registering through a charity, runners simultaneously become members of a fundraising effort that has generated nearly $60 million since 2002. Chicago Marathon hopefuls living outside the U.S. also have the option to secure an entry via a number of tour operators offering travel packages that include registration to the 2011 race.
