Around Town: 2008 Chicago Marathon

(L. Stolpman)

The 2008 Chicago Marathon came and went as 35,000 runners galloped through city streets. Congrats to everyone who participated and a special congrats to everyone who finished. A marathon is a grueling thing (I've survived three) and finishing is the greatest triumph for any participant. Look at more in our Flickr Pool and by searching for "chicagoist marathon" on Flickr.
