Chicago’s loudest cheerleader might just be a bag of granola. 😂📣
No running experience. No race strategy. Just a collection of homemade signs and an unreasonable amount of pride in people we’ve never met.
Today, we’re cheering for the version of you who set that early alarm. Who said, “Sorry, I have a long run tomorrow.” Who somehow started calling 10 miles an easy day.
You earned every cheer—even the ones coming from a bag.
So if your legs are tired, borrow some of our enthusiasm. We saved plenty for the “never again” crowd who will probably sign up for another race next week. 😂
Run your race, Marathon Chicago. We’ll handle the noise.l
You pay to do this… Remember that…🏃🏃🏃🏃
You called 10 miles an “easy day” you’re ready…!
Your legs are tired. Your fans aren’t 🙌🙌🙌
You trained for this…Even the bathroom stops 🚽🏃🏃🏃
If someone you love is running today, go out and cheer them on! 📣❤️ Seeing a familiar face and hearing you shout their name might be exactly the boost they need to reach the finish line.
