Bank of America Chicago 13.1

Bank of America Chicago 13.1 takes place on June 6, 2027, in Chicago, Illinois, starting at 7:00 a.m. The half marathon (13.1 mi) crosses the heart of the city, alternating long urban straights, green parks and stretches along the shore of Lake Michigan.

Chicago's flat, wide streets and lakefront paths make this one of the better half marathons in the country for an even-paced effort — there is almost nothing on the course to break your rhythm. The wind off the lake is the exception: check its direction on the morning, and be ready to run the exposed section by effort rather than fighting to hold a number.
