PARKING
We strongly encourage all participants and spectators to use public transportation if available. Otherwise, there are dozens of surface lots, garages and valet parking options within walking distance of Packet Pick-Up and the Start/Finish areas. We recommend SpotHero to secured advance, discounted parking. As the event draws nearer, we hope to offer discounted parking options for participants and spectators alike through the entire weekend. Please check back for updates.


AIR TRAVEL
Chicago offers two commercial airports with service from dozens of carriers, O'Hare Field (ORD) and Midway (MDW). Both offer public and private transfer services, and convenient rail service direct to Chicago's Loop.
