I have completed some 1/2 marathons and am uping my goal to a full for next fall. Would like to make this a really momentous occasion. Any other runners on here interested in completing a first full with friends? I live about 6 hours away and would like to do Chicago marathon in Oct....any takers that we could join as friends on MFP for motivation and meet at the race?

This could be really fun!

    I think I am going to make Chicago 2012 my first full as well! I have no idea what my pace will be, though... can't say I'd run WITH anyone (cause I'm just like that) but I'd definitely meet up afterwards!

    Good for you. The Chicago Marathon is a great race. It's a flat course except for the hill at mile 26. It's not a big hill but it's brutal at the end of the race. The entire course is packed with people cheering you on.

    I may run it. I'm undecided between that race and another marathon in St. Charles.
