There are 8 aid stations. Here is a link to their map. (For Sunday)<br />

The event is organized so that faster pace groups go first. The bulk will be between 9:30 mm and 10:30 minute miles. 20 miles at a 10:00 pace is 3hr and 20 m. Start of this group just before 7. The route is all south, so most will be over…

<p>I believe the first wave starts around 630 AM, with waves every couple minutes. Besides lots of infrastructure around the start at Montrose and the end at Jackson Park, there is not much brought in along the path. There will be water stops, but its likely the same ones used every weekend, managed by Fleet Feet that are mostly off the path itself, such as by the boathouse and along the inner dirt path between Belmont and North Ave.</p>

<p>These are relatively serious runners as opposed to walking events, but the organization of each wave is up to the volunteer pacers and runners that make up that particular group, particularly as the miles drag on.</p> Thanks for the heads up.

<p>Thanks for the heads up. I intended to take ride to brunch on the LFP - Andersonville to Pilsen. That would have made for a bad ride. Thanks again!</p>

Bring it on! Runners Critical Mass! Chicago's Marathon is Sunday October 12th, 7am. I invite all from the cycling community, if you have never experienced the festivities and exuberance of our city's marathon, try it out one time. Bring your bike out along the route to watch the spectacle and see if it doesn't rub off on you. Just sayin ' ! And once again, heads up on LFP this weekend, sorry.

Oh and for the record - I have drank from the kool aid fountain of running marathons and ultras, so for full disclosure I may be running on the path as well. And last year, I think I saw Serge volunteering. (Without a beer in hand, crazy)
