Check
out the new course map below. Due to construction, they have had to
make some minor changes to the route. Instead of running south on State
St. to Van Buren St., the course will cross the State St. Bridge
heading south then bear west on Wacker Dr., introducing a scenic
stretch along the Chicago River. Additional changes have been made to
the western-most section of the course before resuming the historic
final mile on Harrison St., Michigan Ave., and the finish on Columbus
Dr. in Grant Park.
