Meet at Wacker and LaSalle at marathon mile 3
Come cheer for Friends of the Chicago River Runners on Sunday morning at the corner of Wacker and LaSalle as they complete mile 3 and cross our gorgeous river. These runners have been training hard all year, and we are so grateful that they are advocating for our river while they do! Based on race start and mile location, we expect most runners will pass our cheer spot by 9:30 a.m.
