8:00 AM – 11:30 AM · 4h
Free and open to the public, the morning starts with check-in at 8am and a pre-run stretch before Winded Run Club founder Cora Shircel leads an all-paces 2-mile shakeout at 8:30am. The route starts and finishes at the grove, where a recovery lounge follows from 9:30 to 11:30am with prepackaged refreshments, light bites and onsite physical therapy support for Chicago Marathon runners. Giveaways include limited-quantity gift bags plus a chance for marathon runners to win a luxury mattress. There is no bag storage, so attendees should bring minimal items.
