"Where the party meets the pavement!" is the catch-phrase for 13.1 Marathon™, the nation's newest running series featuring a stop in Chicago on June 13, 2010.
Dallas-based US Road Sports and Entertainment Group is proud to launch 13.1 Marathon™, a series of races that will give runners and walkers a chance to participate in a stand-alone 13.1™ mile race in some of the most popular running communities nationwide.
13.1™ Chicago is first timer friendly and perfect for marathoners in training and other experienced runners. The field will be limited to 5,000 participants to enable novice walkers and runners a less intimidating race experience compared to events with over 10,000 racers. For marathoners and half-marathoners, 13.1™ will offer the perfect weekend long run on a closed course fully supported with aid stations, spectators and everything a runner would want as part of a fun race experience.
MARATHON THIRTEEN.ONE™ Chicago, along with the rest of the series races, have been created in response to the growing demand for half marathons and support for the distance as a race for people looking for a lifetime accomplishment. While 13.1™ miles have quickly become the distance of choice for thousands of people around the world, the 13.1 Marathon™ series will become the race of choice for runners of all levels . The 13.1™ series currently consists of four races for 2008-2009 in major cities including Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, and Fort Lauderdale.
