Abbott Health & Fitness Expo

Exhibitors fill the hall with official Chicago Marathon merchandise and the latest in running footwear, apparel, nutrition and technology. The expo is also where every marathon participant collects their race packet, and Abbott Chicago 5K runners pick up theirs here on Thursday and Friday. Entry is free and open to the public, and an interactive floor plan lists every exhibitor with a map of the booths.

Good to know:

• Every attendee passes a security screening on entry
• Organizers ask attendees not to bring large bags or luggage
• Organizers recommend the McCormick Place East Building as the rideshare drop-off

Opening hours:

• Thursday 10 AM to 6 PM
• Friday 9 AM to 6 PM
• Saturday 9 AM to 6 PM

Hours are subject to change.
