Inthe fall

Watch (or run) the

Chicago Marathon. One
of the biggest marathons
in the US takes place in

the fall every year, usually

in October. About 40,000
people, including top
runners and celebrities,

run 26.2 miles through

the city. There's a fantastic

atmosphere. You can watch
anywhere along the route,
but the Chicago Theater
and the finish, near Grant
Park, are my favorite places.
The fall in Chicago usually
means good weather, but
be prepared for rain or sun—
justin case!
