Over 11,000 runners participated this year in the Bank of America Chicago Distance Classic Marathon. The race began in Grant Park at 6:30 a.m. The City of Chicago closed  half of Lake Shore Drive going south to 57th street and returned back to Grant Park along the lakefront to the finish line.

I took over 700 pictures. Did I get a photo of you? Take a look at the bottom of this post for your bib number, post a comment with your number and I’ll add your picture to the blog.
