Chicago Marathon shakeout run and bib pickup

Bib pick-up starts at 9am, so let's meet outside the convention center at 8:30am for a very short and easy run along the water, followed by a couple of 100m strides. The JD marathon plan calls for 20-30min easy, so let's target 2.5 miles.

If anyone has a specific route in mind or an easy spot to find each other by the convention center, please let us know and we can update the details for the meet-up.

Here is the location and hours for the bib pick-up, in case you decide to go at a different time:
