Earlier this week, the Chicago Marathon put out their qualifying standards for the 14 corrals across 3 waves, and sent runners their preliminary corral assignments.
Wave 1 has the elites and 5 additional corrals:
We'll get specific instructions on the timing later this summer, since the final assignments will get posted August 17. If they proceed like races with corrals under normal circumstances, it will be a rolling start for each of the consecutive corrals within a given wave.
I've been assigned (as of now) to Corral B, so I should be crossing over the start line within a couple of minutes of the starting gun. And, mercifully enough, not only is there a 3-hour pacer in Corral A, there is one inside Corral B, too. Perfect for those of us who haven't previously cracked that huge barrier but are trained up to do so.
If you're reading this, are registered for the Chicago Marathon, and are looking to change your corral assignment prior to August 10 (one week before the final assignments are made), make sure to fill out the request form.
Stay tuned for additional details re: Chicago, Boston, and NYC as they become available.
