A little race day info

Pace Requirements for the race, found on the race website http://www.chicagohalfmarathon.com

Concerning pace guidelines, note that due to the fact that our scenic running course uses  a large part of busy Lake Shore Drive and that there are numerous churches, harbors, a golf course and other institutions and organizations along our race route, we ask that our runners keep a minimum per mile race.  In an effort to open the course back up to the community, participants are required to race at a 13 minute mile pace.  The expected finish time at this pace is 2:50:21.  Runners exceeding that pace may be asked by a course marshal or Chicago Police officer to finish the course on an adjacent sidewalk.  Thank you for your understanding.
