Hydrate, people! Hydrate!

Heat is again a concern for this year’s Chicago Marathon, with temperatures expected to top 80 degrees tomorrow.

As of Friday, officials said the warning level was Yellow/Moderate for the race, signifying less than ideal conditions for a marathon. But officials said the alert level could change before or during the race. Red/High means conditions are potentially dangerous, and Black/Extreme means the race has been canceled (as was the case last year). [S-T]
