***2006 Race Cancelled***
The Lakeshore Marathon Start and Finish Lines are in
Chicago's infamous Burnham Park, just south of McCormick Place Lakeside Center, adjacent to the Fallen Firefighters and Paramedics Memorial.
Aid Stations:
There is a new, runner friendly team responsible for setting-up and supplying the aid stations in 2005. We are working hard to ensure that complete and timely runner support will be provided at the Start / Finish, and at approximately every 1.5 miles on the course.
Average Temperatures:
This is an excellent date, time and venue for a marathon! Average daily temperatures on May 30th along Chicago's lakefront.
55 F / 13 C Average Nighttime Low
65 F / 19 C Historic Mean Temperature
75 F / 24 C Average Daytime High
Participants should keep in mind the park is in full bloom and lake water still in the 50's, which helps ensure an extremely comfortable running environment for marathoners. Running through the park along the lake could prove to be one of your most enjoyable marathon experiences. The last two years, the day recorded temperatures in the 50's at the start, with highs in the low-mid sixty's. Just perfect marathon conditions. The inaugural Lakeshore Marathon was run in April and experienced a legendary late winter storm surge.
The Lakeshore Marathon is an Official Boston Marathon Qualifier. Lakeshore Marathon participants can use the time they run in the Lakeshore Marathon to officially "Qualify" for the Boston Marathon. Runners that have "Qualified" for the Boston Marathon at the Lakeshore Marathon noted that the "Wave" Start utilized by the Lakeshore Marathon significantly improved their ability to run relaxed right from the beginning of the marathon, thereby helping each to reach their goal of "Quallifying" for the Boston Marathon while experiencing Chicago's beautiful Lakeshore!

 Knee Pain - Chondromalacia - Irritation Under The Kneecap
Chondromalacia is a term used to describe damage or softening of the articular cartilage on the underside of the kneecap. It is similar to patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee), which refers to pain under and around the knee cap.
