Running Clothes -- What to Wear
RunTri.com Racing Coverage || For more, return to our Complete Chicago Marathon Coverage
The weather on race day has varied widely in the last decade, from temperatures in the low 30s at the start to sunny 70 degree warmth.
Dress for the conditions. Keep it simple; plan to run in clothes you would wear if it were a training day. But you can also dress with the option to make changes, so to speak, on the fly. If it’s expected to be chilly at the start, consider wearing an old sweatshirt over your running clothes, with an expectation you’ll toss it a few miles into the run.
If the cold is expected to hold all morning, consider running in a jacket or vest to keep your torso warm. Cotton gloves and a hat can make the course more comfortable, too.

Chicago Marathon: Nutrition -- What to Eat and Drink
RunTri.com Racing Coverage || For more, return to our Complete Chicago Marathon Coverage
<-- Previous: Running Clothes -- What to Wear
At least two hours before the race, I like to eat about 600 calories, typically a bagel, banana, and energy bar. You coffee drinkers will also want to load up with a little eye-opening caffeine.
If you expect you might experience cramps during the race, consider taking a salt pill. And, of course, begin sipping water or sports drink when you wake up. Then I try to limit fluids in the hour before the race, to minimize the need for, shall we say, pit stops on the course.
My rules of thumb for race nutrition and hydration on the course: drink something every two miles, and take in 100 calories (I use GU) every 4 miles. This approach can be a Wall Buster, it keeps me hydrated and relatively energized through those tough miles, to the finish.
